Hi Dave,

I will write something
$

Once done  and tested  I will send it to the list.

For now:  
Joined is my  working screen to install somewhere
And to explicitly  start with the complete path
Because if you type only (screen
 Mac starts /usr/bin/screen which of course is not patched and does not work.
In the readme.mac I will explain how to solve this problem.

2.  One must install macport (www.macports.org/ <http://www.macports.org/> )  => downloads
=>  macport version for your system:  (Sierra and so on).
Install it.

With voiceover open the terminal (in utilities: cmd+shift+u).

Running the terminal:
You must install git from the macport soft:
Port install git as root. I suppose you have all rights on your machine.

And after  as usual: git clone … you know that.
Autogen. And if all goes well (you have all dependencies!) (port search SOMESOFT will tell if it is found).
After that, run cfg-darwin ( and make and as root make install.

NOTE: you must download first of all Xcode on the App Store.
And after you must accept the licenser,
And download the command line tools.

Hope I don’t forget something.
 I will see to write a complete readme.mac.
 Waiting it, if you have problems feel free to ask.

Regards
