[comp.sources.d] Screen

net@tub.UUCP (Oliver Laumann) (12/22/88)

I have just sent the new release of "screen" to the moderator of
comp.sources.unix.  Since it may take several months until it
actually appears in the newsgroup, I'm willing to send out
individual copies to a few BITNET sites, especially to sites that
are willing to redistribute it (e.g. make it available through
Internet-FTP).

So if you think you need a copy of "screen" urgently, send me a
BITNET address or an Internet address that is recognized by
the BITNET-Internet gateway MITVMA.  I'm not going to send out
copies over UUCP, since UUCP mail from Germany to the US is
expensive.

Merry Christmas,

It would be much appreciated if someone in netland could make this
available for UUCP sites.  Maybe it could be loaded on one of the
archive sites or made available for Anon UUCP, or even through E-mail
(if it's not too big).

Thanks for the help.

I have it available for FTP. Any site that is willing to redistribute it
in the USA should drop me a mail and I'll tell you how to pick it up.

In screen.c of the screen package, FreeWindow() needs to free (wp->tabs).

Also, the following uuencoded file causes screen to incorrectly emulate
an ANSI X3.64 terminal.  There are supposed to be three numbers indented
to column three in each of the first three rows.  Running screen and 'cat'ing
typescript will demonstrate the problem.  Does anyone have this fixed?

If you can, help others.
If you can't, at least don't hurt others--the Dalai Lama

Screen does not have to be installed with root priviledges, why
not install it yourself.

Screen must be installed with root privileges (note the spelling) to be
able to chown() newly allocated pseudo-ttys (under BSD and related UNIX
versions only the super-user may invoke the chown() system call).
In addition, it must be granted read/write access to /etc/utmp and read
access to /dev/kmem.

If you do not install it as set-uid with owner root, the basic functionality
will not be affected, but commands like w(1) and talk(1) can produce weird
results.

I have been asking this before without getting any answers.  I'll ask one more
time - hope someone will hear this time.

So is there a port of Screen to HP-UX?  It uses the terminal controlling of
BSD and I don't know how to fix those for Sys V.

Please, answer by e-mail of followup to comp.sources.wanted.  Thank you.

Kim
