    g0> You're not stuck with 80x25, Mystic can have themes/templates up to   
    g0> 160x60.    
      
   i duno, i took great care to ensure none of the art on my board relies on the   
   wrapping on column 80 (or 132, etc) in the hopes that any arbitrarily-sized   
   xterm could just telnet in and have it display correctly. i don't know if   
   relying on a theme for each size (or rather line count) is what i want to do.   
   especially when syncterm for example supports 6 line count options for 80   
   column and a whopping 9 options for 132 column.   
      
   would just assume have 3 themes for example.. then do if width > 39 - use 40   
   column set. if width > 79 use 80 column.. if width > 131 use 132 column if   
   avail.. and even then those would just be used for artwork.. the height for   
   everything else with a header and footer just doing the right thing regardless   
   of height. i suppose arbitrary widths could be done for those too if a repeat   
   character/color or a repeat section of the ansi was provided.   
      
   i understand if that's not in the cards but that's what i'd like to strive for   
   :)
