Running Applications in 80 or 132 columns

When we do this we call a c function which sends the appropriate escape sequences that cause the terminal to change. The escapes are specific to the terminal. You might consider a way to record the state of the terminal and provide a way to set it back to the way it was. __________________________________________________________________ | Clem Akins Standard Disclaimers Apply | |Reynolds Metals Co, Alloys Plant "Climb High, Cave Deep!" | | Muscle Shoals, Alabama USA cwakins@leia.alloys.rmc.com | |________________________________________________________________|
