Initial import to CVS. Basic functions are working, albeit with a couple of showstopper memory bugs and many missing features. Detaching, reattaching, creating new sessions, listing sessions work acceptably for using with shells. Simple curses programs (top, systat, tetris) and more complicated ones (mutt, emacs) that don't require scrolling regions (ESC[r) mostly work fine (including mutt, emacs). No status bar yet and no key remapping or other customisation.

+
+There is one default server process per user which puts its socket in
+/tmp/tmux-UID. It is created the first time tmux is run and subsequent
+invocations will connect to the same server. The server holds multiple
+sessions, call tmux with "-n <session name>" to create a session or attach to
+an existing session. All the sessions may be listed with -l, or the windows of
+a single session with "-ln <session name>". Sessions are destroyed when no
+windows remain attached to them.
+
+Another server process can be used by specifying an alternative socket path with
+"-s <path>" but it shouldn't normally be required.
+
+You can set the window title (listed in -l), using the \e] escape sequence. For
+example:
+
+	$ echo -n \\033]0;My Title\\007
+
+There is currently no method for setting the window name (what will eventually
+be shown in the status bar).
+
+You might get message "couldn't find server" after a crash, in this case you
+must remove the /tmp/tmux-`id -u` file manually.
