( assuming you meant screen 3.9.5 up there ^^ ) I have no idea :) Maybe the old version of screen relied on (or was tolerant to) a bug in the old version of ncurses, and the new screen expected a more conforming curses implementation? It looks like there are quite a lot of changes from 3.9.5 to 3.9.8, but they seem more related to colors, not line-drawing chars. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
