+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, 2000, and XP, you can set it using Control Panel > System;
+on Windows 95, 98, and Me, you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult
+your Windows manuals for details.
+
+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?

+telling us `it doesn't work'.
