Initial release (+ 1 bugfix in setup.py)

+Python 1.4beta3 for Windows NT 3.5
+==================================
+
+The zip file pyth14b3.zip contains a preliminary binary release of
+Python 1.4beta3 for Windows NT 3.5, with Tcl/Tk support.  The
+installation has not been tested on Windows '95 or Windows 3.1 with
+Win32s.  For general information on Python, see http://www.python.org/.
+
+To install:
+
+Unzip the archive in the root of a file system with enough space.  It
+will create a directory \Python1.4b3 containing subdirectories Bin and
+Lib and files setup.bat and setup.py.  (If you don't have a zip
+program that supports long filenames, get the file winzip95.exe and
+install it -- this is WinZip 6.1 for 32-bit Windows systems.)
+
+Run the SETUP.BAT file found in directory just created.  When it is
+done, press Enter.
+
+To use:
+
+Python runs in a console (DOS) window.  From the File Manager, run the
+file python.exe found in the Bin subdirectory.  You can also drag it
+to a program group of your choice for easier access.  Opening any file
+ending in .py from the file manager should run it.
+
+To use with Tkinter:
+
+Get the file win41p1.exe from here or from ftp site ftp.sunlabs.com,
+directory /pub/tcl/.  This is a self-extracting archive containing the
+Tcl/Tk distribution for Windows NT.  Don't use an older version.
+
+Using the control panel, set the TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY
+environment variables.  E.g. if you installed Tcl/Tk in C:\TCL (the
+default suggested by the installer), set TCL_LIBRARY to
+"C:\TCL\lib\tcl7.5" and set TK_LIBRARY to "C:\TCL\lib\tk4.1".
+
+Once Tcl/Tk is installed, you should be able to type the following
+commands in Python:
+
+	>>> import Tkinter
+	>>> Tkinter._test()
+
+This creates a simple test dialog box (you may have to move the Python
+window a bit to see it).  Click on OK to get the Python prompt back.

+
+Concepts:
+    A _directory_ is a collection of key/value pairs.
+    You need a _handle_ for a directory to do anything with it.
+    There are some predefined keys, e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
+    A _key_ is an ASCII string; NT file system conventions apply.
+    A _value_ has a type and some data; there are predefined types
+    (e.g. REG_SZ is a string, REG_DWORD is a 4-byte integer).
+    There's some fishiness in that in fact multiple, named values
+    can appear under each key, but this seems little used (in this
+    case, the value is best seen as a structured value).
+    A key can also refer to a _subdirectory_.  In this case the
+    associated value is typically empty.  To get a handle for a
+    subdirectory, use RegOpenKey(handle, key).  The key can also
+    be a backslash-separated path, so you can go directly from one of
+    the predefined keys to the directory you are interested in.
+
+Most common functions:
+    RegOpenKey(handle, keypath) -> handle
+        Get a handle for an existing subdirectory
+    RegCreateKey(handle, keypath) -> handle
+        Get a handle for a new subdirectory
+    RegCloseKey(handle)
+        Close a handle
+    RegGetValue(handle, subkey) -> string
+        Get the (unnamed) value stored as key in handle
+    RegSetValue(handle, subkey, type, value)
+        Set the (unnamed) value stored as key in handle, with given
+	type; type should be REG_SZ
+    RegSetValueEx(handle, name, reserved, type, value)
+        Set the value with given name to the given type and value;
+	currently reserved is ignored and type should be REG_SZ
+
+Functions to list directory contents (start counting at 0, fail if done):
+    RegEnumKey(handle, i)
+        Return the i'th subkey
+    RegEnumValue(handle, i)
+        Return the i'th name and value
+
+Lesser used functions:
+    RegFlushKey(handle)
+        Flush the changes to the handle to disk (like Unix sync())
+    RegSaveKey(handle, filename, reserved)
+        Save the contents to a disk file (broken?!)
+    RegLoadKey(handle, keypath, filename)
+        Load the contents from a disk file (lots of restrictions!)
