What is Twin?

Twin is a windowing environment with mouse support, window manager, terminal emulator and networked clients, all inside a text display.

It supports a variety of displays: *plain text terminals (any termcap/ncurses compatible terminal, Linux console, twin's own terminal emulator); *X11, where it can be used as a multi-window xterm; *itself (you can display a twin on another twin); *twdisplay, a general network-transparent display client, used to attach/detach more displays on-the-fly.

Currently, twin is tested on Linux (i386, x86_64, ARM, ARM64, PowerPC, Alpha, Sparc), on Mac OS X (x86_64) and on FreeBSD (i386, x86_64). I had yet no chance to seriously test it on other systems.
