Hi all,

I saw some mails ago some references to the 'screen' command.
Well I myself had (and still have) some needs that were just asking
for the 'screen' panacea, and so I tried it.

Unfortunately, I had quite a bad time trying to put it to work, and
then I gave up, and turned out using the (tiny brilliant) utility
'dtach'.
That's ok for me, because I really was looking for the detachment
feature of screen, and nothing else.

But when I've researching what about was the screen problem, I saw
some threads referring to the very same problem I had: the 'screen'
command hangs almost all the times I've tried to re-attach a session
(or even do an 'screen -ls'). And so I settled for the self-conclusion
that this was a 'dead' package, waiting for someone to look at...

So, can you tell me if these hanging problems were after all fixed,
and I'm the only one with them? Or is this just a matter of luck,
because I've now seen some mails of people talking so good of this
cygwin package...?
