Jacob Nevins b33d9e4a44 Tone down canonical-name resolution when using getaddrinfo(). Previously
we were doing a forward+reverse lookup, which seems above and beyond the
call of duty, especially given that getaddrinfo() can be persuaded to
return a canonical name (this is what unix/uxnet.c does).

Unfortunately, I'm unable to test this at all as Win98 doesn't have
getaddrinfo(); hopefully I'll be able to find a mug with a modern version
of Windows to check it's not completely broken.

I think the effects of this are mostly cosmetic -- the canonical name is
used for window titles (and some people have been annoyed at the new
behaviour), other displays, and probably also for proxy exclusions.

PuTTY README
============

This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.

What should I do next?
----------------------

If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.

If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On
Windows NT and 2000, you can set it using Control Panel > System; on
Windows 95 you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult your Windows
manuals for details.

What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------
