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? -------------------------------- The PuTTY home web site is http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports telling us `it doesn't work'.
