Looks like version 3.9 was when they added split-screen support.

I really dislike the arduino environment but the base code that I am using
is written in it.
I also almost never use printf/scanf and its derivatives in embedded code
because printf/scanf are among the biggest space hogs in the C library. I
have written my own set of text input and output routines that replaces all
of the printf/scanf functionality that I need in an embedded system.
Thank you for your advice. I will look into screen, if I an find it.

If this were my project, I would start by getting newlib going and then
seeing if I could use that to run an older (presumably more simple, with
fewer requirements) version of screen.

Overlapping would be amazing, different screen
quadrants at a minimum. I
am going to try to port Txwindows as that is the only package I could find

Screen is a linux utility. I am writing this on a bare metal (no
operating system) ESP32 dev board.
Right now the program is text menu driven. I would like to enhance it
with textual windows.
The Txwindows package is perfect but over kill and will need some
hacking to work in my environment and it doesn't support the VT-100's
region scrolling so screen updates might be slow.
What might be helpful is if you could be more specific about what it is
you're trying to achieve. Do you want arbitrarily sized, overlapping
windows or do you just want the screen divided up into discrete segments?
