  13. Hello
  14. Does anybody out there know how to get the TERMINAL WIDTH from VAX-C ?
  15. I'm implementing in VAX-C on VMS 5.4.
  16. What I'm trying to do is the following :
  17.  
  18.     width = terminal_width();          /* Get terminal width                 */
  19.     sprintf(buf,"...",...);            /* Write data into buffer             */
  20.     if (strlen(buf) > width)           /* Buffer too long ?                  */
  21.         strcpy(buf+width-3,"...");     /*     ==> 'Truncate' buffer          */
  22.     printf("%s\n",buf);                /* Write [truncated] data to terminal */
  23.  
  24. How do I implement the function "terminal_width()" ?
  25.  
  26. thanx
