Hi Andrew, I do most of my kernel hacking on the Linux console, so 80x25 is the limit of what I see - and depending on the editor I'm using, lines longer than 80 characters are chopped to 80 characters unless I scroll to the right (which then makes moving up and down problematical.) So, the files I'm responsible for are likely to stay requiring an 80 character width. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
