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.
