Like many other people out there I have found screen to be one of the most useful programs around. Unfortunately, nobody seems to keep track of its progress. I am looking for the latest greatest version of screen. I have version 2.3 pre 7 from June of 90. It has screen logging and such but I would like to see where it stands now. Is it out of pre- status yet? I should mention that this version was not done by the original author as he had not heard of it. I sent it to him though. So where are we and where can I get it? ian -- -=Runaway Daemon=-

This is not an `official' version of screen (i.e. a version maintained by the author). The most recent official release (screen 2.1a) can be obtained by anonymous FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu (pub/gnu/screen-2.1a.tar.Z). screen 2.1a is distributed under the terms of the GNU copyleft. -- Oliver Laumann net@tub.cs.tu-berlin.de net@tub.UUCP ol@ai.mit.edu

I see that now. Unfortunately it is apparently not what I am looking for. Screen 2.3-7 has some VERY nice features and I will continue to use it. I have gotten my hands on a couple versions more closely related to the `official' version and none of them have screen logging activity monitor window aliasing (can put a name on a window) last status bar message indicator built in HELP window or ablility to specify shell in .screenrc load personalized termcap I appreaciate your original but I would like to see more progress along the lines of 2.3-7. I can even recall where in the hell I got 2.3-7. I think someone just sent it to me. ;) ah well, suchislife. ian -- -=Runaway Daemon=-

I can even recall where in the hell I got 2.3-7. You can try to contact Wayne Davison <davison@drivax.uucp>; he developed at least an early version of the screen you are using. The reason why I didn't want to make this version of screen the official version is that, in my personal opinion, it is overloaded with too many features, many of them of questionable utility. -- Oliver Laumann, Technical University of Berlin, Germany. net@tub.cs.tu-berlin.de net@tub.UUCP ol@ai.mit.edu
