Summary: A screen manager that supports multiple sessions on one terminal
Description:
The screen utility allows you to run interactive text-mode programs (such as login shells) even if it is not possible to control them interactively all the time (for example, because you are limited by the way of access to a remote machine.) For instance, you can do several interactive tasks on the same physical terminal (a remote shell session) by switching from one virtual terminal to another with the help of screen utility installed on the remote machine. Another option would be running a program that needs a terminal without attaching it to any physical terminal at all (its start may be scheduled in crontab, or you may want to detach it when you break the connection to the remote machine). Install the screen package if you may need to use virtual terminals managed by the screen utility.

- 4.0.2 -> 4.0.3 (fixes two bug in combining characters handling) - imported sources into git, applied all changes to the sources tree, and built with gear - fixed warnings emitted by new gcc compiler (-Werror build mode on), resulting in better error checking; some changes are not purely cosmetic, notably dup2() usage for oldish close()+dup() technique
