It seems hp-ux 7.0 doesn't like terminals with more than 160 columns: e.g., ls output format is too narrow, vi complains 'terminal too wide' &c. I haven't noticed this documented anywhere, but then I haven't read the manuals from cover to cover, so ... Is this a feature of specific commands only (which ones?), is there any way around it, and are there any plans to change this in the future? -- Tapani Tarvainen (tarvaine@jyu.fi, tarvainen@finjyu.bitnet)

> It seems hp-ux 7.0 doesn't like terminals with more than 160 columns: > e.g., ls output format is too narrow, vi complains 'terminal too wide' ls has a check in it which assumes a column width <20 or >160 must be in error. An AT&T 3B2 running V.3 exhibits the same behavior. I'll initiate getting this changed in our next release. vi screen size limits: LINES COLUMNS LINES * COLUMNS pre-7.0: 100 160 10000 7.0: 128 160 16896 post-7.0: 128 212 16896 Wayne Krone
