screen 4.0.2

[A. Clay Stephenson]

It's really very simple. Download the source and gunzip it.

Assuming that you download it (binary FTP) to /var/tmp.
gunzip screen-XXXX.tar.gz

Next untar it.
tar xvf screen-XXX.tar

cd screen-XXX.tar
./configure

Next edit Makefile and comment out the line
CPPFLAGS=xxx/yyy/zzz/ncurses.h (unless you have actually installed ncurses) by preceding it with '#'. Save the file and 'make'. The build will begin.

Assuming all went well,
'make install'

and finally
cd terminfo
tic screeninfo.src (installs the 'screen' entries in the terminfo database)

Ooops,
cd screen-XXX.tar
should be
cd screen-XXX

Bingo, everything works fine!

Thanks once again so much for all your help. Going with the non-depot version really helped here.

Thanks,
