I have version 73 of less and version 1.1i of screen. I am looking for updates to these. A few months ago a beta version of less was announced - i volenteered to help out but never got a response. I was sent some mods to screen to add cut and paste, but when I tried to extract these mods from the version of screen that i was sent and then trying to add them to the version of screen that i am using, something was lost in the translation, resulting in a non functioning pgm. Also, I have been told that there have been some modifications to vttest to fix some bugs in tab setting and possibily adding some new tests. If anyone knows anything about this, i would be interested as well. Thanks! -- Larry W.

I do have a new version of screen; it has been in use on our local machine since a couple of months (the main improvement is that you can `detach' a screen session from your terminal and resume it on a different terminal or in a later login session). However, so far I haven't got the time to prepare a new release (update the man page, etc.). Regarding the modifications and enhancements I have received: since I don't have the time to evaluate and incorporate into screen the large number of 'diffs' I have received, I would only include a few of them and only fixes that enhance the portability of screen (such as load averages for Sun's). -- Oliver Laumann net@TUB.BITNET net@tub.UUCP
