2 | ============\r |
3 | \r |
4 | This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If\r |
5 | you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and\r |
6 | installed PuTTY on your system.\r |

8 | What should I do next?\r |
9 | ----------------------\r |

11 | If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP\r |
12 | to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the\r |
13 | Start menu.\r |
14 | \r |
15 | If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,\r |

16 | you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on\r |
17 | your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On\r |
03f1bfaf |
18 | Windows NT, 2000, and XP, you can set it using Control Panel > System;\r |
19 | on Windows 95, 98, and Me, you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult\r |
20 | your Windows manuals for details.\r |

22 | Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)\r |
23 | if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed\r |
24 | PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file\r |
25 | works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054\r |
26 | for information on how to solve this problem.\r |
