i think u mean arabic.txt in vim/runtime/docs/ right...? would be nice if i 
can put my name
in a README file :))))
PuTTy already has a README. so we provide an arabic.txt...
btw PuTTy's binaries are distributed as 1 file, which is the binary 
executable only... any README
would only accompany the source...

btw2 PuTTy's Source comes with about 5 projects PuTTy and other things, 
havent checked
the others yet...

will work on that...

is there a way i can do a diff of 2 files and generate 1 patch..?
ex. diff -u putty1.c putty1new.c putty2.c putty2new.c >> putty.patch

never mind, i'll read the man...

im about to kill my self... y didnt u say so earlier... i've been asking 
about shaping since
i got here, and no one helped (some people even critisized on the general 
list), but now,
after i used your code, u say its bad, and here use this one...!!!!!!! it'd 
take anyone 10
minutes to explain it on irc...

well, how do we get the code on CVS, dont we need an acount..? how do we get 
it...?
i think u need to read my post a few hours earlier with the subject: "PuTTY 
CAN shape now"
it has a few questions for u...

do u think we really need to remove your code and use the one u 
mentioned..???

ak...
