But I had to assume a worst case computer/display combination. A board game
I posted started with a page of instructions. The left-most 25 or so
characters of the first 12 lines were used to show a diagram of the game
board generated with text characters. If the instructions got line-wrapped
because the lines of the instructions had too many characters, the diagram
of the game board got badly messed up! At first I used the full width of
my Win98 screen, but then realized many computers wouldn't have that many
characters available.
