When I implemented reading and writing of the new format a couple of weeks ago, I kept them strictly separate in the UI, so you have to ask for the format you want when exporting. But in fact this is silly, because not every key type can be saved in both formats, and OpenSSH itself has the policy of using the old format for key types it can handle, unless specifically asked to use the new one. So I've now arranged that the key file format enum has three values for OpenSSH: PEM, NEW and AUTO. Files being loaded are identified as either PEM or NEW, which describe the two physical file formats. But exporting UIs present either AUTO or NEW, where AUTO is the virtual format meaning 'save in the old format if possible, otherwise the new one'.
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. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
