Re: bad terminal size in screen utility

[Jan Vicherek <cygwin-user at ied dot com>]

 Hi all,

  I was wondering whether anybody on this list uses screen and is being
successful -- I.e. does have proper terminal size in their programs. If
there is anyone here like that, please reply / contact me.

  As Chris has suggested, I had already attempted to contact the package
authors.

   TIA,

      Jan

   Hmm, that must have been my mistake, I've installed the "latest" using
the current cygwin setup. Please disregard the 20.1b thing.
