Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src
In directory slayer.i.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv11901

Modified Files:
	README 
Log Message:

Added section on threads problems on Reliant UNIX; this relates to
bug #113797.  We should be able to resolve this for the next release.

Reflowed the comments on Monterey (64-bit AIX) to match the flow of the
other platform-specific sections.

! Monterey (64-bit AIX):
!     The current Monterey C compiler (Visual Age) uses the OBJECT_MODE={32|64}
!     environment variable to set the compilation mode to either 32-bit or
!     64-bit (32-bit mode is the default).  Presumably you want 64-bit
!     compilation mode for this 64-bit OS.  As a result you must first set
!     OBJECT_MODE=64 in your environment before configuring (./configure) or
!     building (make) Python on Monterey.

! Reliant UNIX: The thread support does not compile on Reliant UNIX, and
!         there is a (minor) problem in the configure script for that
!         platform as well.  This should be resolved in time for a
!         future release.
