Ok, you and three or four other people made this point after I blocked the subject here because I thought it was xterm specific. Instead, it isn't even cygwin-specific. All of my man pages are formatted to 80 columns on linux, too. If you think about how man works, where it caches the formatted output in a separate directory it is easy to see why that is the case. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
