# T #
T is a lean **T**erminal emulator. The project aims to keep it as simple as
possible, while still being usable. Configuration is done by modifying the file
-`config.h` and recompiling. It is actually two applications: one acts as a
-daemon (`Td`) while the other (`Tc`) is invoked to request new windows or kill
-the daemon. This was done so that the resource usage is (somewhat) minimized by
+`config.h` and recompiling. In order to use T, you must first run it as a daemon
+(-d option) and then send commands by running the same executable using other
+optinos. This was done so that the resource usage is (somewhat) minimized by
keeping all terminals under the same process while new windows are opened
(somewhat) faster.
