I installed Rosetta and screen-4.0.1 worked. I imagine that since I haven't been able to compile this version of screen on my Intel mac mini, the one I had compiled and was trying to use was compiled on a powerpc machine when I had one, though I still haven't figured out why it ran fine in Leopard unless Rosetta was installed automatically in Leopard but not in Snow Leopard. It's working fine now; keyboard emulation doesn't work but I can't remember whether it ever worked or not. I still have to run the configure with disable-api. I've upgraded all outdated packages on Macports but haven't tested to see whether or not I still have to put the /opt paths at the end in order to get brltty to install. I'll probably have Dave look at my system eventually to see whether we can solve the issues but at least I can use it now. I can even start up screen as a login item on my Mac though I still have to manually start brltty.
Apple does support quite a few braille displays now on the Mac, though I don't know for sure how well it does in terminal. Unfortunately Apple's braille program doesn't support usb-serial devices though it does support usb and also bluetooth. But having brltty work in terminal makes it possible for me to do a lot of command-line tasks and programs right on the Mac instead of always having to go to a linux machine. I'm typing this email in Pine in Terminal and using both voiceover and brltty. -- Cheryl "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer."
