Is this universe or unidata? Looks like universe defines the @(-29) function as setting 80 column mode, and the @(-30) function as setting 132 column mode. These may not be defined for all term types, but they work for me in vt420.

I did exactly this for wIntegrate and PT250 emulation.

What you need to do (or check it works) is multifold ... :-)

Make sure those @ functions actually do something. Try setting "VAR = @(-29)" in a basic program and check the result isn't null. If they don't do anything you'll need to edit your terminfo database ...

Then check your .wis file and make sure that, when it receives those sequences it actually makes wIntegrate change column size.

Lastly, edit the TERM command (the source is in the UV account somewhere - APP.PROGS?) so that it responds to the WIDTH option.

I wrote a couple of spool utilities - in particular one I called WIDELIST, that threw wIntegrate into 132 column mode to list a file and then reverted back to 80 when it had finished. It's a simple job but fiddly. I might be able to find some of the sources and post them.

Cheers,
Wol

132 and from 132 to 80. Either by scripts or by program.
