Yes, but my patch grabs COLUMNS before we call readline(), so we use the COLUMN value we were invoked with, rather than tracking the changes readline() makes to it. If we use COLUMNS as set by readline, there is no way to pass a COLUMNS value into psql reliably. 'ls' doesn't use readline so it is safe from changes while it is doing its output. I can pull COLUMNS as modified by readline() but I thought no one wanted that. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
