a bogus channel (typically refused: "FATAL ERROR: Server refused to open
a direct-tcpip channel"). Fixed.

(presumably Windows's serial buffer is actually _filling up_,
causing an XOFF to be sent, now that my dodgy I/O code isn't causing
it to leak). So I think I'll switch the default flow control to
XON/XOFF, since it actually seems to do something now.

in place of making a network connection. This has involved a couple
of minor infrastructure changes:
- New dlg_label_change() function in the dialog.h interface, which
alters the label on a control. Only used, at present, to switch
the Host Name and Port boxes into Serial Line and Speed, which
means that any platform not implementing serial connections (i.e.
currently all but Windows) does not need to actually do anything
in this function. Yet.
- New small piece of infrastructure: cfg_launchable() determines
whether a Config structure describes a session ready to be
launched. This was previously determined by seeing if it had a
non-empty host name, but it has to check the serial line as well
so there's a centralised function for it. I haven't gone through
all front ends and arranged for this function to be used
everywhere it needs to be; so far I've only checked Windows.
- Similarly, cfg_dest() returns the destination of a connection
(host name or serial line) in a text format suitable for putting
into messages such as `Unable to connect to %s'.

I'm not entirely sure about the precise set of modes that Unix Plink should
look at; informed tweaks are welcome.
Also the Mac bits are guesses (but trivial).

cfg.remote_cmd is to be used, rather than actually pointing at
cfg.remote_cmd. This change restores the ability to structure-copy
Configs without breaking them. (Though of course this is only a
temporary solution: really what wants doing is to fix
`config-struct'.)

Of course when I do the serious config format revamp, I will ensure
that no config item depends on internal #defines (these time
intervals will be specified as a floating-point number of seconds)
and this horror will be relegated to the old-config-compatibility

of polishing to bring them to what I think should in principle be
release quality. Unlike the unfix.org patches themselves, this
checkin enables IPv6 by default; if you want to leave it out, you
have to build with COMPAT=-DNO_IPV6.
I have tested that this compiles on Visual C 7 (so the nightlies
_should_ acquire IPv6 support without missing a beat), but since I
don't have IPv6 set up myself I haven't actually tested that it
_works_. It still seems to make correct IPv4 connections, but that's
all I've been able to verify for myself. Further testing is needed.

Retire BUG_SSH2_DH_GEX and add a backwards-compatibility wart, since we never
did find a way of automatically detecting this alleged server bug, and in any
case there was only ever one report (<3D91F3B5.7030309@inwind.it>, FWIW).
Also generalise askcipher() to a new askalg() (thus touching all the
front-ends).
I've made some attempt to document what SSH key exchange is and why you care,

feels strongly that it should be easy to make _all_ your
applications work in UTF-8 mode, without having to remember a switch
for each one. Every application should simply note a UTF-8 locale
setting and switch into UTF-8 mode automatically.
Therefore, for the Unix port only, there's now a checkbox, enabled
by default, which causes the drop-down Translation box to be
overridden if the locale indicates UTF-8. Anyone who doesn't like
this, or doesn't like MGK, is welcome to turn it straight back off.
I'm not _completely_ convinced by MGK's argument myself; for
xterm/pterm to do _useful_ UTF-8 you also need to specify a decently
Unicode-capable font, and there's no way _that_ can be automagically
done on noticing a locale setting. But it's a de facto standard
(i.e. xterm does it :-) so I might as well at least be _able_ to
support it.

PuTTY / Plink not to run a remote shell/command at all. Supported in
the GUI configuration and via the (OpenSSH-like) -N command-line
option.
No effort is currently made to arrange `nice' UI properties. If you
do this in GUI PuTTY, a full-size terminal window will still be
created, and will sit there with almost nothing in it throughout
your session. If you do it in Plink, Plink will not accept any kind
of request to terminate gracefully; you'll have to ^C or kill it.
Nonetheless, even this little will be useful to some people...

No very good reason, but I've occasionally wanted to frob it to see if it
makes any difference to problems I'm having, and it was easy.
Tested that it does actually cause keepalives on Windows (with tcpdump);
should also work on Unix. Not implemented on Mac (does nothing), but then
neither is TCP_NODELAY.
Quite a big checkin, much of which is adding `keepalive' alongside `nodelay'
in network function calls.

mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make

time! The load code in settings.c was translating an empty string
into "Default Settings" to pass to {win,ux}store, whereas the save
code was passing the empty string straight down and expecting it to
be dealt with. So, a policy decision: the precise name of the
"Default Settings" special session _at the storage level_ is up to
the individual platform storage code to decide, and all platforms
MUST assume Default Settings is meant if they receive NULL or the
empty string as a session name.

opaque to all platform-independent modules and only handled within
per-platform code. `Filename' is there because the Mac has a magic
way to store filenames (though currently this checkin doesn't
support it!); `FontSpec' is there so that all the auxiliary stuff
such as font height and charset and so on which is needed under
Windows but not Unix can be kept where it belongs, and so that I can
have a hope in hell of dealing with a font chooser in the forthcoming
cross-platform config box code, and best of all it gets the horrid
font height wart out of settings.c and into the Windows code where
it should be.
The Mac part of this checkin is a bunch of random guesses which will
probably not quite compile, but which look roughly right to me.
Sorry if I screwed it up, Ben :-)

the various `yes/no/maybe' enums into one common one missed a vital
point: all those enums mapped on to integers in different ways,
which affected the format of stored settings. Arrgh. So now
settings.c contains yet more painful warts and I'm _really_ starting
to think it's about time we designed a new set of human-usable
config keywords and retired this lot to the status of Unpleasant
Backwards-Compatibility Relic.
