Subject: Checking for 132 column capability

All,

Working on a program that really requires a 132 column display.

So what I want to do is front end it with another program

that checks to

make sure the user is running
132 column display and if not provide a help screen that

lists the steps

needed to change the
emulations session settings.

Of the top of my head, one idea was to have the front end

program use two

display files, one 132
columns only and the other 80 columns. Both would be user

open and the

program would try to open the
132 column one first. If that fails, it would open the 80

column one

which would have the help text.

I browsed thru the APIs, to see if there was a cleaner way

to check but

didn't see anything.

Anybody know of a better way?

Thanks,
