Re: how do I determine screen size

["Joep Beckeringh" <joep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

A technique I use when dealing with 27x132 screen size is this:

- Make the display file user controlled
- Try to open the display file (OPEN(E) or with an error indicator)
- If the open does not succeed, either issue an error message (I let the
calling CLP handle that) or open an alternative display file for 24x80.
