I was just trying to figure out if the problem was due to an
unimplemented part of ReactOS or a regression of ReactOS.

Subject: Re: [ros-dev] A call for help getting putty working
Even if another version works it'd be nice to work with it
unmodified and as compiled by the author.
1) My thoughts are twofold; putty works on wine and windows,
and so a compatible system such as reactos ought to be able
to the same. I think having CreateDialog work right is not
so much to ask.
2) We get no credibility having to port apps to run on
reactos. Sometimes I do patch an app so i can get past a
known problem by my goal is always ultimately to run the app
unpatched. My guess is that an eventual end user will expect
the author's version to work.
Honestly I don't know if putty's author Simon Tatham has done
something wrong with the win32 api or we have, and I'm not
interested in hunting for a specific version that works.
What I am interested in is fixing bugs in reactos that may
affect some other application. I have a feeling that other
apps may appear to fail silently but actually just be waiting
for some invisible hand to show their dialogs. Putty should
now be a reasonable target as we theoretically implement
everything it needs.
Sorry if this doesn't fit with our current development arc.
I'm getting more resistance than I anticipated.

two locomotives which are pushing on you with equal force in
opposite directions. You will exhibit no net motion. None the
less, you may soon begin to notice that something important
is happening.
