I propose to remove this restriction that treats terminals as a special case, and to allow terminals using all available horizontal space (defined by `window-width'). This also allows using an existing user option `Man-width' to define any other desired width equally on terminals and window systems: Index: lisp/man.el =================================================================== RCS file: /sources/emacs/emacs/lisp/man.el,v retrieving revision 1.172 diff -u -w -b -r1.172 man.el --- lisp/man.el 13 Sep 2007 08:04:38 -0000 1.172 +++ lisp/man.el 8 Nov 2007 00:54:16 -0000 @@ -763,7 +764,6 @@ ;; minal (using an ioctl(2) if available, the value of ;; $COLUMNS, or falling back to 80 characters if nei- ;; ther is available). - (if window-system (unless (or (getenv "MANWIDTH") (getenv "COLUMNS")) ;; This isn't strictly correct, since we don't know how ;; the page will actually be displayed, but it seems @@ -773,7 +773,7 @@ ((and (integerp Man-width) (> Man-width 0)) Man-width) (Man-width (frame-width)) - ((window-width))))))) + ((window-width)))))) (setenv "GROFF_NO_SGR" "1") (if (fboundp 'start-process) (set-process-sentinel -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
