   Hello, Alexander!

   Exactly how small and narrow?   
   Are there so many users that   
   can not set their terminal   
   window width at least at 80   
   columns? Do you know any of   
   them personally? Maybe someone   
   who uses a Commodore or a ZX   
   Spectrum?   
   This is how our msgs would   
   appear formatted to fit a   
   Speccy screen. :-)
