Has tmux been fixed to work on 150 MHz computers since it has moved to libevent? Define `fixed'. What do you consider broken? I use tmux daily on 2-digit MHz machines, but then I don't use the status bar because I have no use for it. Miod

Just saying that at least, screen has been working for decades properly. Even if it was archaic. But it's not like tty are anything new themselves (the 8bit version ones). Go read the source code some time. bye bye.
