 INSTALLATION:
    Just extract the mindterm_install.zip into c:\Progra~1 and 
    it should work fine on English, French, Italian and German 
    versions on Windows NT/2000/XP.
    This will create a subdir "mindterm" under which all tools
    are stored.

  SSH tools in this bundle:
   - mindterm:   My favourite, for historical reasons and due to
                 features such as "clone terminal".
   - putty:      Lovely SSH client which also has Telnet support.
   - pscp, psftp: Putty's command-line file transfer
   - plink:      Putty's command-line ssh
   - pageant:    Putty's ssh-agent
   - winscp:     nice SSH file transfer GUI (to replace your ftp client)
   - iexplorer:  nice SSH file transfer GUI, newer versions are
                 no longer free, they are shareware.
   - QuickPutty: a quick lauch for putty

 Mindterm is started by clicking on "mindterm.bat" in c:\Progra~1\mindterm.
 (I typically create a shortcut on my desktop to mindterm.bat, with the
  property ""Run Minimized" set - to hide the CMD window).

 For putty, click on pageant to start the taskbar icon which gives quick 
   access to putty, and key agent. To use the command line tools like
   plink, add c:\Progra~1\mindterm to the PATH.

 Tips: Enable compression over slow links. Use only protocol V2. 
       Blowfish is a fast but strong encryption algorithm, recommended.
