I've been running screen on cygwin for years - originally using http://dellelce.com/code/screen/ - though it wasn't long before being ^A^Z trigger happy drove me nuts, and I made my own patch that disabled the suspend and detatch (which is broken under cygwin) keystrokes. http://www.alphalink.com.au/~ord/home/cygwin.html I'm happy for someone to run with my patch and add it to the cygwin distro. If not I could possibly handle the package, depending how time consuming it'd be. Mark. Btw, is gmane.os.cygwin serverly broken over nntp, or is it just me? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
