bad terminal size in screen utility

[Jan Vicherek]

 Hi,

  I was wondering, whether you have had any luck running screen with
cygwin - I have cygwin 20.1b DLL 1.1.8 (2001-01-30) and I tried both
screen-3.9.5 and 3.9.8 :

$ find /d/dl/ -name '*screen*' -ls  | cut -c 50-

 Problem : when running apps through a "screen" tty, terminal size is not
right.

 "vi" only works on 25x80, and "less" gets all screwed up. As "less"
doesn't have a substitue, I'm stuck ! :) If fact, no apps recognize my
real terminal with and height, even "ls" shows only 4 columns, while there
is space for at least 6 !


  Would you have any suggestions how to make screen work properly ?

  I tried running screen under cygwin terminal and under xterm
 (by telneting in).


   Many thanks in advance,

         Honza
