From the original documentation (mint 0.6):
===========================================
miwm.ttp: minimal window manager
miwm [shell]
miwm is a very minimal window manager for MiNT. In the present configuration,
only 2 (full screen) windows are permitted. The program specified on the
command line (it must be a full path specification) is started up in both
windows; if no argument is specified, the program to run is taken from
the environment variable SHELL. The only commands supported are
ALT-1 and ALT-2 (switch to window #1 or #2, respectively) and ALT-0
(exit). mwm only really works with text programs; anything that uses
GEM steals keypresses before mwm can get them.
This version works just like the above except for the fact that it uses
half size characters so that only one 30k part of memory is used for
the screen, it also doesn't call the line-a routines so it doesn't require
gem to be active. The whole reason for my putting this together is that I
only have a 1040ST with a meg and a single double sided drive. This
means that mgr is out of the question. I tried to use Allan Pratt's
window manager (based on uw), even then I didn't have enough memory
available to much of anything. So I went back to Eric's miwm from
an early version of mint and made a few changes here and there and
ended up with this. Compiled with GCC 1.40 and linked with mntlib16.
Limitations:
only runs on 640x400 mono (original hires mode)
it only contains ascii characters 32 (space) through 127 (del)
