screen on cygwin

[Alexander Bruns]

Hi,

I am running Cygwin on Windows 2000. I want to use the screen-command but 
with cygwin, the screen-software is not available.

So I treid to compile screen 4.0.2 myself in cygwin. Configure worked, but 
make ended with error.

Then I found a patch at this site:
<http://www.fredlwm.hpg.ig.com.br/cygwin/screen/>

And patched the source of screen 4.0.2 with his patch:
<http://www.fredlwm.hpg.ig.com.br/cygwin/screen/download/patches/screen-4.0.2-cygwin.patch>

Then configure, make, make install worked fine.

Now I can run screen within the cygwin-shell directly and within the 
cygwin-shell opend by ssh from a remote computer.

I can detatch from the screen.

But when I want te teattach the screen, the screen-command does not work. 
Sometimes it dies after a long period of time. Othervise I have to press 
STRG-ALT-DEL to terminate the screen-4.0.2.exe binary.


Is there any way to get screen work under cygwin. I am used to use screen 
on our Linux-Boxes and want to use it in cygwin.


Greetings
