Hello folks, I have a real dilemma on my hands. I have recently moved my account on to an IBM RS/6000. Here is the dilemma part: I miss not having screen around to help me out. I had no idea that I had become so dependent on this program. Has anyone ported this software to an RS/6000? Is anybody currently trying to port it to an RS/6000? If either of the above statements are true can some kind sole put me in touch with them or at least let me know where I can find the program. I'm in a desperate situation here folks. Please reply via e-mail with any info on this subject. Thanks in advance, Pete -- +--------------------+-----------------------------------------+------------+ | Pete Thorsen | Gualtieri's Law of Inertia: | Send me a | | pete@virginia.edu | "Where there's a will, there's a won't" | $1.00 | +--------------------+-----------------------------------------+------------+

I don't know of any ports and haven't used the program since I left school where it was a lifesaver for multiple compile edit sessions, if this is the screen for multi windows on ASCII terminals. Anyway, grepping through the uunet index, the latest screen I could find resides as: comp.sources.unix/volume9/xscreen/screen-2.1.tar.Z in the anonymous FTP directories on uunet.uu.net It could probably be found on any comp.sources.unix archive site as well. -- +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.

If you are willing to accept something a bit lighter, look up the "Session Manager" posting I made over the winter in alt.sources. I have compiled it on a PS/2 and a S/6000 with good results. It has one advantage over "screen" and "wm" in that it doesn't emulate any kind of terminal, so it is more efficient. And besides, I wrote it so I have to promote it ;-) DISCLAIMER: I am speaking for myself only. -- John F.
