+In these days where it is hard to find a graphic card without 3D acceleration, 
+I brought back to life twin, a program that works in text mode.
+
+Twin was born in 1993 as a DOS program, and it was the first big program I 
+wrote immediately after learning C. I soon abandoned it, as under DOS there 
+was no multitasking and I could not have any other program run inside the 
+windows drawn by twin.
+
+I resurrected twin in late 1999, when I was almost ending the military service 
+and I had some spare time. In a single afternoon I ported it to Linux, then I 
+started adding features: linux console emulation, networked server capability, 
+X11 support, etc.
+
+If you are still asking what is exactly twin, here is an answer:
+
+Twin is a text-mode windowing environment: it draws and manages text windows 
+on a text-mode display, like X11 does for graphical windows. It has a built-in 
+window manager and terminal emulator, and can be used as server for remote 
+clients in the same style as X11. It can display on Linux console, on X11 and 
+inside itself.
