users. Update the file selection dialogs to mention it per the usual Windows
convention, and also sprinkle references to it throughout the docs. I've
also scattered hints that most tools need PuTTY's native format; perhaps this
will reduce the frequency with which FAQ A.1.2 trips people up.

absent, and also (I think) all the frontend request functions (such
as request_resize) take a context pointer, so that multiple windows
can be handled sensibly. I wouldn't swear to this, but I _think_
that only leaves the Unicode stuff as the last stubborn holdout.

The current pty.c backend is temporarily a loopback device for
terminal emulator testing, the display handling is only just enough
to show that terminal.c is functioning, the keyboard handling is
laughable, and most features are absent. Next step: bring output and
input up to a plausibly working state, and put a real pty on the
back to create a vaguely usable prototype. Oh, and a scrollbar would
be nice too.
In _theory_ the Windows builds should still work fine after this...

was not the same as the new one, violating the Principle of Least
Surprise).

rather than being given a blanket `unable to read key file' message.

binary on startup (just like the help features are disabled if it
can't find the help file).

Specifically, we explicitly closesocket() all open sockets, which
appears to be necessary since otherwise Windows sends RST rather
than FIN. I'm _sure_ that's a Windows bug, but there we go.

load a key that is already loaded. This makes command lines such as
`pageant mykey -c mycommand' almost infinitely more useful.

we just invoke the same help file and jump to the Pageant chapter.
It would be nice to be able to bring up the contents box with the
Pageant chapter expanded, but I don't think WinHelp() allows us to
request this.)

to add and keys to remove (in the open-file dialog and the key list
box respectively), and passphrases are cached during the process of
adding several keys at once (in case two of the keys have the same
passphrase).

now a passphrase-keyed MAC covering _all_ important data in the
file, including the public blob and the key comment. Should
conclusively scupper any attacks based on nobbling the key file in
an attempt to sucker the machine that decrypts it. MACing the
comment field also protects against a key-substitution attack (if
someone's worked out a way past our DSA protections and can extract
the private key from a signature, swapping key files and
substituting comments might just enable them to get the signature
they need to do this. Paranoid, but might as well).

and nobody has noticed, including me. That's quite spooky.

function (woohoo!), improved that function so it provides an ASCII
dump as well as hex (whee!), removed all remaining spurious \r in
debug statements (ooh!), and made enabling of packet debugging in
SSH a matter of one ifdef rather than lots (phew!).

spawn another command after starting Pageant. Also, if Pageant is
already running, `pageant keyfile' and `pageant -c command' will do
the Right Thing, that is, add the key to the _first_ Pageant and/or
run a command and then exit. The only time you now get the `Pageant
is already running' error is if you try to start the second copy
with no arguments.
NB the affected files in this checkin are rather wide-ranging
because I renamed the not really SSH1-specific
`ssh1_bignum_bitcount' function to just `bignum_bitcount'.
[originally from svn r1044]
error messages are currently wrong, and Pageant doesn't yet support
the new key type, and I haven't thoroughly tested that falling back
to password authentication and trying invalid keys etc all work. But
what I have here has successfully performed a public key
authentication, so it's working to at least some extent.

This should allow me to plug in a debugging allocator and track
memory leaks and segfaults and things.

features (prompt for passphrase twice, prompt before overwriting a
file, check the key file was actually saved OK), testing of the
generated keys to make sure I got the file format right, and support
for a variable key size. I think what's already here is basically
sound though.

Win95-only (securityless) version of Pageant. This will refuse to
run at all under NT, so as to avoid the risk of people accidentally
running an insecure binary on a security-requiring system.
