That is going to have to wait a while. I knew it should be there, but |
| 8 |
the vertical split doesn't show up. I did some Google searching. |

The current ebuild is screen-4.0.3, and up to screen-4.0.3-r4 (with |
| 19 |
~everything) shows up after an "emerge --sync". I can |
| 20 |
"./configure --with-various-options && make && make install" with the |
| 21 |
best of them (not that I know what I'm doing<G>), but the latest builds |
| 22 |
of "screen" are in a git repository, which I'm not familiar with. Plus |
| 23 |
which, these builds could be alpha or very early beta, so I don't really |
| 24 |
want to use them on a production machine. Keywording ~amd64 ebuilds is |
| 25 |
as much "bleeding edge" as I want to go. |
