W history

Torsten Scherer (TeSche) starts W in 1994 because X is too heavy under MiNT... The goals were: W should be lightweight and easy to program graphics window system, use client-server model and be able to run WTerm, Wload, WClock and simple games. Torsten achieved these goals admirably, I'd say! :-)

New W 1 features (Dec -94)

New W 1 Release 2 features (Dec -95)

New W 1 Release 3 features (Feb -96)

W1R4-beta features

Unofficial W 1 Release 4 by Eero (97/98)

I haven't been able to contact TeSche since June/97 :-(.

There are still a lot of things on the TODO list...
