Hi, In '87, Oliver Laumann from the Technical University of Berlin released a public domain program called screen which offers multiple terminal sessions through a single terminal. Each session uses the full screen and has a vt100 emulator built in. This allowed real brain damaged terminals to have some of the features of a vt100. Anyhow, I made some enhancements to the code last week. I have added a 200 line transcript history to each session and the ability to page or scroll upwards to see stuff that has gone off of the top of the screen. I have also added the ability to transfer data between sessions (cut and paste). If there is enough interest, I will post the updated sources. I would like to send the updates to Oliver Laumann if possible, but I have no idea how to reach him. If you are still around and reading USENET, could you reply to this please... Or, if he isn't reading, if somebody knows him or works with him, could you please tell me his nodename, maybe a path, and his userid? Thanks, --Mike Leibow -- Michael S.

No, please don't. I'm currently working on a new release of screen (it will support multiple character sets, a client library that allows programs to open windows, etc., and a function to `detach' screen from the terminal and resume the screen session at a later point of time possibly on a different terminal). I will send the new release to the moderator of comp.sources.unix in a couple of weeks. If you mail me your modifications within the next few days, I may incorporate them into the new release (provided I like them, of course). Otherwise I suggest that you wait until the new release of screen has appeared in comp.sources.unix and then post the diffs with respect to the new release.

I've been using screen since I pulled it off the net last year. Its great! By the way, I went back to the README Oliver Laumann put out with the source and found some addresses for you. It was difficult for me to track down the addresses - I think the source code is the appropriate place for this information along with the copyright and/or author of the code. Anyway, here is what he put in his README for addresses: net@tub.BITNET US: pyramid!tub!net Europe: unido!tub!net I assume his login is net. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have received hundreds of letters asking for the enhancements I've made to screen. I am going to wait for Olivers changes to appear and then I will add my changes. My changes should appear shortly after Oliver's. --Mike -- Michael S. Leibow UUCP: rochester!ritcv!msl5864 BITNET: MSL5864@RITVAX
