+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!)
