Need latest version of screen.
-=Runaway Daemon=-
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?

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.

Your right.. 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.

You don't need this, as you can use script(1).

screen 2.1a has this.

How does this work?

You can try to contact Wayne Davison <dav...@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.
