I was wondering, whether anybody has had any luck running screen with
cygwin - I have latest cygwin, DLL 1.1.8 (2001-01-30) and I tried both
screen-3.9.5 and 3.9.8 :
Problem : when running apps through a "screen" tty, terminal size is not right.
"vi" only works on 25x80, and "less" gets all screwed up. As "less" doesn't have a substitue, I'm stuck ! :) If fact, no apps recognize my
real terminal with and height, even "ls" shows only 4 columns, while there is space for at least 6 !
Would you have any suggestions how to make screen work properly ?
I tried running screen under cygwin terminal and under xterm (by telneting in).
Many thanks in advance,
Honza
