+Mintty as a terminal for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows / WSL.
+
+#### Overview ####
+
+Run the installer to install
+* wsltty package components (see below) in the user’s application directory (where WSL is also installed)
+* an empty “home directory” to enable storage of a mintty config file
+* a Desktop Shortcut and a Start Menu Shortcut to start WSL with a login bash in the user’s WSL home directory
+* context menu entries for Windows Explorer to start WSL with a bash in the respective directory
+
+An uninstaller is not provided.
+
+#### Components ####
+
+For mintty, see the [Mintty homepage](http://mintty.github.io/).
+
+It is based on [Cygwin](http://cygwin.com) 
+and includes its runtime library ([sources](http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/cygwin/x86/release/cygwin)).
+
+For interacting with WSL, it uses [wslbridge](https://github.com/rprichard/wslbridge).
