Hi,

In '87, Oliver Laumann from the Technical University of Berlin released
a public domain program called screen which offers multiple terminal sessions
through a single terminal.  Each session uses the full screen and has a
vt100 emulator built in.  This allowed real brain damaged terminals to
have some of the features of a vt100.

Anyhow,  I made some enhancements to the code last week.  I have added a
200 line transcript history to each session and the ability to page or scroll
upwards to see stuff that has gone off of the top of the screen.  I have also
added the ability to transfer data between sessions (cut and paste).

If there is enough interest, I will post the updated sources.  I would like
to send the updates to Oliver Laumann if possible, but I have no idea
how to reach him.  If you are still around and reading USENET, could you
reply to this please...  Or, if he isn't reading, if somebody knows him
or works with him, could you please tell me his nodename, maybe a path,
and his userid?

Thanks,

	--Mike Leibow
