    If anybody is interested, screen-4.0.2 compiles without too much trouble.
  Get the source from four favorite gnu mirror, apply the followin short patch
  and screen is yours.

    screen is a wonderful program that allows you to have several terminals
  inside one text terminal. Only one is visible at a time, and you can switch
  from one to the other with two-keys combinations, copy and paste, do some
  input and output processing, and a lot more. What makes it so much more
  interesting is that you can detach screen from the running session, logout,
  come back later, relogin and reattach the session. The running programs will
  not have noticed anything (in addition you can see the virtual terminals
  on several distinct physical terminals, which is useful if you have something
  running at home and want to see it from work). Etc, etc...

    This is a kind of window manager+vnc for text applications.

    Good luck,

       Loïc Grenié
