Description
How big is a screen? Try 60 lines by 140 characters; that's roughly the maximum that's comfortable for a book page.
Would it be possible to change the upper limit to no longer than 110? 140 characters long lines are difficult to read. No wonder, I haven't seen any book with 140 character lines.
(If you bring side-by-side diffability in the picture, then 80 characters would probably be a better limit.)
