   Hi Ruth,   
      
   I seem to recall reading that you once used a Commodore 64 on Fidonet.   
   Do you remember whether the software "re-flowed" text for 40 columns?   
   It seems to me that the common recipe managers wrap at 80 columns.   
   For that matter, do you recall using a recipe manager on the C=64?   
      
   I'm thinking about spending some time in 8-bit computer emulators.   
   Not necessarily C=64, but many of them do have 40 column displays.   
   Coincidentally, i read that Braille is normally 38 cells per line.   
      
   Catch you later,   
   -Ben
