It's just for messages, which has lines        VA>> longer than your terminal width.               NB> Is there a way to change the line length in Golded? If it is set for        NB> something like 78 by default, maybe changing it to 79 would help as it        NB> could be one extra character that's causing it to wrap to the next        NB> line. Although, I don't know how replies and quotes coming from here        NB> would look on others' systems then.. I'd rather break things on my        NB> end, not others. :)              Just make your terminal wider and then start golded. It will use whole window       width unless you use "Dispmargin" parameter in your config. As for quotes,       they will be broken down to "Quotemargin" columns.               VA>> To use cp437 you need to change Putty config for sure. And I'd        VA>> recommend you to use one byte locale for golded if you don't need        VA>> many different encodings. That will solve many issues for you        VA>> right away.               NB> Honestly, I have no interest in using CP437 in a terminal. I don't        NB> mind some irregularities, but this time there were just more than        NB> usual.               NB> I don't like things easy. For some reason I enjoy making things        NB> extremely difficult for myself.              Sure. That's your choice. :) I just want to tell that GoldEd was designed to       work with one byte encodings and UTF-8 may work incorrectly.               VA>> Some people do experience issues like you. And would be really        VA>> great to find and fix root cause.               NB> I agree! Then again, if/when you get iconv working properly I think        NB> many of these issues will probably disappear since iconv > old crusty        NB> translation tables.              I'm working on some refactoring now in charset conversions now. When that is       done, then iconv integration will be very simple.               VA>> Could you also try to remove file goldxlat.gel? Golded will        VA>> generate it on start.               NB> I did, and it didn't change anything. I'll use 'git bisect' and see if        NB> I can figure out if a recent commit changes it back to the way it was.              Got it. What is weird, last commit fixed issue for one sysop and broken it for       you.              Could you try to build from commit 372220588c6f17cd3f709dcb721a9144169d988c ?       It was before all my changes. If it will have same behavior, then it's       something wrong with setup on your side and we'll try to figure that out.              Best regards,       Vitaliy Aksyonov.              ...
