   I'm pretty sure that you can't.  You can probably get the functionality
   you want from by getting hold of the screen-2.1c package from prep.ai.mit.edu
   and compiling it for 386BSD (I think that it should go with minimal effort
   but, on the other hand, I haven't tried it).

screen sources and executable are included in the etcdist part of the
0.1 distribution.  Rich
