GNU screen now with UTF-8 support

GNU screen is a virtual text mode terminal emulator that allows you to
get proper VT100 support on any termcap terminal, switch and cut&paste
between several virtual terminals, etc. It is what we used on VT100
terminals for having several shells before X11 came around and it is
still incredibly useful today.

The latest version now comes with UTF-8 support:

  ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/utilities/screen/private/screen-3.9.9beta1.tar.gz

You can use it to run non-UTF-8 applications on a UTF-8 terminal and
vice versa, as it translates the encoding between your terminal
application and your real terminal.

Have a try!
