No, they have an implementation of screen. The first one I used (circa 1993) was from Sun. The wonkypedia article says the first pair of maintainers handed it over to a second pair of maintainers who handed it over to the gnu project. So it's a bit like Gold and Patch and Grub and EGCS so on: somebody wrote a thing that worked and the Gnu project managed to take it over and plaster their name all over it as the versions they ship bloat and lose reliability. Rob -- GNU/Linux isn't: Linux=GPLv2, GNU=GPLv3+, they can't share code. Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation. Pick one. _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
