+mtm is the Micro Terminal Multiplexer, a terminal multiplexer.
+
+It has three major features/princples:
+
+Simplicity
+    There are three commands (change focus, split, close).  There are no
+    modes, no dozens of commands, no crazy feature list.
+
+Compatibility
+    mtm emulates an existing, well-known terminal type.  That means it
+    should work out of the box on essentially all termcap-based systems,
+    even pretty old ones, without needing to install a new termcap entry.
+
+Size
+    mtm is less than 550 lines of C, including whitespace and comments.
+    If you include the terminal emulation layer (which is `available
+    separately`_ as a library), the total number of lines doesn't break 1050.
