"screens.el" has been renamed to "wicos.el".  I have the impression
that the elisp archive never erases things...  

From wicos.el:

If Heikki Suopanki decided to rename his package due to name conflict,
I doubt it would be wise to choose the name for another package.  Why
not "vm-screens" or "kyle-screens"? :-)
