 Well, there're four things to say about it:

 1) It's "TeSche", not "Tecshe". :)

 2)  I think I'll do a W1R2 release before x-mas. The reason why I haven't
done it already is that I started playing with X11 fonts under W - and you
would really want to wait for the result! For those of you who have got a
copy of W1R1: The new one is really faster due to socket buffering. For
those of you who don't want to wait for this: Well, you may very well use
Eero's version (that's a permission, Eero:), but keep in mind that quite a
lot things have changed since that 'alpha non-release', so you'll have some
extra work if you start writing programs based on that version.

 3) Ftp site for the last version was ftp.phil.uni-sb.de in /pub/atari/mint/
window-managers or something like this. I think that'll also be a suitable
place for a newer version.

 4) I do have a webpage, but there's nothing on it yet. But I'll make W1R2
available through that if the time has come.

 I hope not! But from W1 to W95 is a long step, you know... ;)

ciao,
TeSche
