Does anybody know how to convince Unix (Sun 3/260) how to automatically send a carriage return after 80 columns of output? We're using the Symbolics terminal emulator which SHOULD be emulating a VT-100, unfortunately, the emulation is flawed because it allows lines longer than 80 columns without wrapping. The program we're using on the Sun (Sunlink 3270) assumes that the terminal will wrap at column 80, which it doesn't, so nothing comes out formatted correctly. Thanks for any help...
