Simon Tatham dbbd6eb5ec Fix `win-randseed-location': use SHGetFolderPath() to find the
Application Data directory in preference to the old-fashioned
attempt to find the user's home directory, and use the _local-
machine_ Application Data directory in preference even to that.

SHGetFolderPath() is called via GetProcAddress, so this degrades
gracefully on old Windowses. (Tested myself on Win95.)

As part of this change, we now search for a location for the seed
file separately for reading and writing, so that installing the new
PuTTY should cause a seamless migration as the old seed file is read
from the old location and then a new one written to the new location.

`putty -cleanup' attempts to delete the seed file from _all_
affected locations.

Naturally, a user-specified seed file path in the Registry still
takes priority over all other means of finding the location.

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?
--------------------------------
