In a DOS box, enter

plink -v -i <path_to_your_ssh2.PPK_file> pruggera at svn.zope.org

"-v" will produce output more useful than "didn't work" <wink>.

The instructions you followed were developed using an SSH1 key.  It's
possible that something else needs to be fiddled to get version 2 to
work.  For example, maybe it will work if you go to PuTTY's Connection
-> SSH dialog and select the "2" radio button under "Preferred SSH
protocol version", or maybe even the "2 only" button.

Win or lose, let us know.
