Hi All,

I have a cosmetic issue when starting gedwin.exe when the screen is set to 80 
columns. The resultant "buf" for part of the startup screen is too big for 80 
columns so it shows as blank (my golded.h is a bit fancy). :( Though the 
startup of Golded is so fast one seldom sees the startup screen, it IS still 
wrong in my case {chuckle}.

I have modified my version of gedinit.cpp to fix this if anyone is interested? 
I am not a C programmer (I do assembly and power basic) but I think I got it 
close to what is expected for C++. I can send the modified file or attempt to 
fork, mod & request a pull using github (never did that either lol).

It has been extensively tested, works fine and doesn't break anything. I used a
 
waitkey() to temporarily pause and verify the startup screen :)
