Well that's an absurd size.  Surely you can't actually use Msged like
that unless you have a wall-sized monitor.  :-)

Probably.  Keep resizing the screen width until it stops crashing.

A fair bit of the screen handling code of Msged will need to be
rewritten to not use unsigned chars (0-255) and use unsigned shorts
(0-65535) (or maybe just ints for simplicity) instead.  Probably not
worth doing unless you really are planning on using it with terminal
sizes above 255 rows/cols.

Which reminds me, Msged will crash in Windows 2000 using the default
Command Prompt window, because it uses a 300 rows (with a scroll bar).
I think Msged should just do the sane thing and not use anything above
200x200 (or whatever it can do before it crashes).

KFE?
