Previously, the code to recover and memory-map the file-mapping object Pageant uses for its IPC, and the code to convey its contents to and from the cross-platform agent code, were widely separated, with the former living in the WM_COPYDATA handler in the window procedure, and the latter in answer_msg. Now all of that code lives in answer_filemapping_message; WndProc only handles the _window message_ contents - i.e. ensures the WM_COPYDATA message has the right dwData id and that its lpData contains an ASCIZ string - and answer_filemapping_message goes all the way from that file-mapping object name to calling pageant_handle_msg. While I'm here, I've also tidied up the code so that it uses the 'goto cleanup' idiom rather than nesting everything inconveniently deeply, and arranged that if anything goes wrong then we at least _construct_ an error message (although as yet we don't use that for anything unless we're compiled with DEBUG_IPC enabled).
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?
