This is another fallback needed on Win95, where the Win32 API functions to convert between multibyte and wide strings exist, but they haven't heard of the UTF-8 code page. PuTTY can't really do without that these days. (In particular, if a server sends a remote window-title escape sequence while the terminal is in UTF-8 mode, then _something_ needs to translate the UTF-8 data into Unicode for Windows to reconvert into the character set used in window titles.) This is a weird enough thing to be doing that I've put it under the new #ifdef LEGACY_WINDOWS, so behaviour in the standard builds should be unchanged.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
