so here is putty's new URL, with a primitive versioning system,
http://www.toomuchcookies.net/~arabeyes/putty5.exe

thanks to Omar Abou-Namous for the space..

remember to Force a redraw, i.e minimize and maximize...

yes, in putty4.exe it was...

all shaping issues should now be gone.... (it might seem strange, but after
min and max everything should look as it should be, without BiDi)
Ligatures were not handled, now they are...
when LAM-ALEF is found LAM is changed to the Ligature glyph and ALEF
is changed to a space...
does any1 have any better ideas..?? keep in mind
that the buffer size has to be the same, the source buffer IS the
destination buffer...
maybe a simple position shifting would be nicer... :)

+ 1 big problem left, will discuss it with Simon (BiDi related)...
