Anyone heard of a way of splitting your terminal into 2 columns (newspaper style columns) where your eg. 180x49 sized xterm then becomes an emulated eg. 90x98 sized xterm? Preferably supporting the full ansi escape sequences.
I think any of tmux, screen, emacs, etc, will do this... Not emacs, neither screen as far as I know. Maybe tmux.
Why such an interesting request! What's the purpose?
Too many output lines in a machine status health display. Added a bunch more webservers yesterday that I want to be able to see!
Modern screens are wide enough, but the manufacturers are still too cheap to make vertical pixels.
How about a wide display rotated in both software and physically. A large modern relatively high resolution TV should do a lot on that score. Might also be a lot less trouble to research and set up and configure. I seem to remember something about a utility to resize and reorient the display on the screen, especially linked to multi-headed display environments. Regards, Mark Trickett
