Ack!  Trying to remember ...

Eric Smith wrote Toswin to go with MiNT.  You could run it as an accessory
or as a program.  This was in the days before a multitasking AES.  With
the release of MultiAES came Miniwin (also by Eric Smith).

Warwick Allison added extra bits to Toswin (can't remember if this was
before or after Minwin came out).  I then added vt100 support on top of
Warwick's extensions.  This was late '95/early '96.  AFAIR, I only
released 0.9, 0.92 and 0.93.  Development fizzled out after that, althogh
Chris Ridd and Erling Henanger (at least - there were probably others too)
did more work on Toswin.

I don't know when the 1.0x versions were released.

Early last year, TosWin II was released.
