Blair,
I have used wide screens with MPEiX and HPUX an have had great success. I
have used up to 132 column screens. I stopped there because going much
further causes reflections to create a horizontal scroll bar to navigate the
full width. I have used several terminal emulators and found that other
than reflections, most others s*u*c*k going past 80 columns. Quick
automatically adjusts the screen size when you transition from an 80 column
screen to 132 and back again. As far as screen size I prefer a 17".

Subject: Wide Screen Setup
We have not yet created a quick screen larger than 80 columns and would
like input on this capability before we begin down this road.
What have been others experiences with wider screens (MPEiX moving to HPUX)?
What is the maximum number of columns possible?
How well do emulators work in this environment, i.e. Reflection & Minisoft?
Must the emulator be setup in this wider configuration prior to running
the screen?
What size monitor is required to make this feasible from the user
perspective?
Thanks
