Only for 4 ish years after the 4.0 release IIRC ~2013. Before that there was a patch floating around to do it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26685/how-to-split-window-vertically-in-gnu-screen https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26685/how-to-split-... Thats the main reason myself and a number of people I know ditched screen around that time. But I'd hardly call 4 years a long time.

For those confused, the linked patch page[1] has says that the patch got integrated into Debian (and Ubuntu) from 4.0.3-10, which means it would have been available since Lenny (2009). [1]: http://fungi.yuggoth.org/vsp4s/ http://fungi.yuggoth.org/vsp4s/
