Hi Paul. (Sorry, I've gone a bit off-topic; this email is not related to OpenOCD).

Some day, someone will probably find a fix to this problem. Perhaps as simple as <WrapOn> and a <WrapOff> control-code, where <WrapOff> is default. =) In the old days, we knew a screen was always 80 characters wide, and I believe that's where it all started. ;) (Eh, no, it actually was 40 or 32 on some platforms, argh!) But display sizes will keep getting larger, then smaller, then larger and yet again smaller, because there will be new devices all the time; some will use only small OLED displays. And I believe I shouldn't have replied to that email, because now I'm in some kind of paradox, self-conflicting: I'm against wrapping lines in code, but I don't like when emails do not wrap at the right side (automatically). ;) Many email clients insert a '>' at the beginning of each line when replying. Fidonet was more advanced there; it started by inserting "Re> " and on second reply, it changed it to "Re 2> ", etc... -Something I'd really like to see as a standard today. >> I really find it impressive, that this problem was not solved on the >> internet; it was on FidoNet (which was before the internet). > > I do not remember using f=f on FidoNet, was using GoldEd back then, > but it was long time ago, so I might be wrong here. I used 'LED' (Little Red Editor). Mailer was "The Box" (and my own BBS, Atris running on the Atari ST). (And strictly speaking, yes, the internet *was* invented before Fidonet, but then, that's a question of definition, because there was no e-mail before 1990, so Fidonet was first... Probalby - just in case someone would argue that I'm wrong somewhere). ;) Love Jens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
