Not sure, but if you had a WYSE-50 or similar terminal, your shell program could temp. put your terminal into 132 column mode and then 'pg'. # turn on 132 column mode echo "`;" # page file pg $filename # turn on 80 column mode echo "`:" Robert Minter |Data Systems Support| \\\\\\_/// Programmer, Software Development | Orange, CA | ( _ _ ) rob@dssmktg.com | Tel: 714.771.0454 | (| ^ |) De Colores - Emmaus OC-13 | Fax: 714.771.3028 | \\`-'/ #include <disclaimer.h> SURF'S UP \\_/
