I've been programming in C for the last 30+ years (back when an 80 column max would have matched a physical screen size) but who is it that's pushing the lamest idea I've ever heard of? 79 chars then wrap?? what is this, 1986?? We used to use 1 and 2 character variable names too, now 10-20 is not unheard of. Most devs I work with have at least two 22"+ monitors side-by-side ... $ stty -a speed 9600 baud; 55 rows; 462 columns; ... pretty easy to stretch my window, if/as needed. by the way, thanks for maintaining the most awesome diff/merge tool!
