 noo stick to vim, vim is cool!  i use this in ~/.vimrc
 map = :'a,!fmt^M
 and then do majjjjjjjjjj= (or variants on the same theme)

 i'm sure there's a better way to do that but it works for me, and i
can change the line length by adding args to the fmt command.

 yeahhh it's kinda hard to do with URLs that are over the limit.

 i _used_ to :)  ok i used to run 2 consoles alt-f1 to alt-f12,
modified /etc/inittab to do it, and then used consolechars -f
default8x9 to increase that to 80x60.

 now i use fvwm2 with _twenty four_ screens on a 2ft wide 1920x1200 screen:

 HA! that's what youuuu know.  amerikhan junk :)

 i had a bondwell MK II (CP/M) but that was later on, in about 1988.
before that i used a commodore pet 3032 in 1978-1983 at school (10 for
i = 0 to 39... 20 print tab(i), i ...)  i knew people who had ZX80s
with upgraded ZX81 ROMs; one guy had a Superbrain (which ran A/PL and
played the _original_ of that famous MUD game), someone else in the
neighbourhood had a jupiter ace; hell, one guy _made_ his own
computers.  someone else at school had a VIC20 in about 1982, that was
awesome.  i ended up with a ZX Spectrum somewhere around 1985, but
programmed on BBC Micros (stonyhurst college had 6 of them, bolted to
the tables, with econet!  i wrote a multi-symphony music player using
that he he).  later on i acquired an Atari TT030, that was about...
1993 but it wasn't until the 386 came out and was reaasonably
affordable in about 1991 that i'd bought an actual x86 system.  didn't
buy a case for it though - got a perfectly serviceable cardboard box
instead :)

 so yeah, none of the above
