I had tried using one of the similar, but smaller programs (dtach), but it just didn't stand up to screen. The only downside I've found is that if you run a resolution dependent program like Midnight Commander (mc) and then you detach from screen. Then try reattaching to screen with a different resolution terminal, mc will go all wonky. Other than that, screen is great.

Personally, that drives me nuts, and I try to be as careful as I can with it. Noted and fixed. Thanks. Personally, that drives me nuts, and I try to be as careful as I can with it.
