 g0> You're not stuck with 80x25, Mystic can have themes/templates up to
 g0> 160x60. 

i duno, i took great care to ensure none of the art on my board relies on the wrapping on column 80 (or 132, etc) in the hopes that any arbitrarily-sized xterm could just telnet in and have it display correctly. i don't know if relying on a theme for each size (or rather line count) is what i want to do. especially when syncterm for example supports 6 line count options for 80 column and a whopping 9 options for 132 column.

would just assume have 3 themes for example.. then do if width > 39 - use 40 column set. if width > 79 use 80 column.. if width > 131 use 132 column if avail.. and even then those would just be used for artwork.. the height for everything else with a header and footer just doing the right thing regardless of height. i suppose arbitrary widths could be done for those too if a repeat character/color or a repeat section of the ansi was provided.

i understand if that's not in the cards but that's what i'd like to strive for :)
