As 'root' in an xterm:

% tweak -l /dev/hda
Do "^X w" 24 -- width changes to 24 lines.
Do "^X w" 25 -- tweak displays a page of misalligned data, and aborts:

'tweak' doesn't immediately bail given a width of '99', it just
trims it to fit with the prompt: "Width reduced to 29 to fit on the
screen". It does bail (same error), if I then hit 'PageDown'.
Possible fixes:
1) fetch terminal width before displaying
"Enter screen width in bytes (now ##):",
but don't accept bad numbers.
2) This could be made "mistake proof" by replacing
the "Enter ...width" prompt with a pair of keystrokes
that increase/decrease the width, (within the screen limits).
Hope this helps...
