I strongly agree.  Why?  Because I've tried to use 40 column terminals
on 80-column systems.  It is a *PAIN* (I know - I did it for over a year.)

The public-domain prog. I recommend is Fred Bowen's VT-100 Emulator v2.1.
It is currently available on both Q-Link and P-Link, or if you are not
a subscriber to those, I am willing to send you a copy.  :-)
How strongly can I recommend it?  Well, I am typing this to you right
now on it - I use it DAILY for connection to PSUVM, with the *only*
problem being that I wish I had a higher baud than 1200!  ;-)
