Oh please. reg files are plain text. It is expected that if you are
concerned, you simply look at it in a text editor. It's impossible to hide
any back doors in it.
In any event, this was exported from an XPhome machine and as such will not
import into your windows for workgroups 3.11.  :)

Since I already _knew_ that you don't have XP, it means I actually only ever
intended for you to look at it in a text editor as an item of reference.
(granted I can't claim that for anyone else) Basically it's just the most
succinct way of describing all my settings, since the changes from default
are more than just a couple things. One time on this list (or was it
comp.unix.sco.misc?) I did describe the settings the hard way. It was really
tedious and this was really easy.

You would have to export a putty connection to more easily see the changes
from default I guess.

That's why the above settings cause putty to emulate the sco console, rather
than vt-any, or xterm. To avoid the need to install or edit the hosts
termcap & terminfo. It uses an entry that's already always in the stock
termcap & terminfo.
