- Is it possible to write an application using curses that has as
- one of its functions the ability to toggle a VT100 terminal
- between 80 and 132 column modes? It appears that there are
- different termcap/terminfo entries for 80 and 132 column mode
- effectively preventing the above.
-
- This sort of functionality can be programmed on VAX/VMS systems
- and I was wondering if it is possible on UNIX.
