Thanks Frank, that's good news.  It's a very useful program, that people
have been asking for in Cygwin for years.

Have you noticed the problem of processes not being killed when you kill
their windows (C-a k) or the whole screen session (C-a \)?  That problem is
persistent for me, and IMO it's enough of a nuisance to keep the current
screen package from being good enough to officially release.  I don't think
it's going to be hard to solve-- we just have to send a signal to the right
child processes at the right time-- and I've made some progress at digging
through the source code to find it.  I hope to have a fix soon, and then
I'll be glad to offer up screen as an official Cygwin package.

A.
