should be wide enough to handle output. i would not think that a programmer
would write software filled with spaces to use max columns.

see my 'yum outputs' below.

not 'on the monitor', but how you are set to display to monitor.

again, this may be due to 'column/row' settings.

maybe. tho you may find that '80 char' is a 'default standard'.

you would have to change source code and recompile. maybe.

their reply will be most interesting.
