of output file(s).

For OUTPUT WIDTH,

= 72 or 118 depending on narrow or wide output.
Description
The user may specify the required input/output width, as required,
using this command. For INPUT width, 79 is always used. The
program can create output using two different output widths - 72
(default) and 118. The 72-character width may be used for display
on most CRTs and for printing on “portrait” wide paper. The 118-
character width may be used for printing on “landscape” wide
paper.
Notes
This is a customization facility that may be used to improve the
presentation quality of the run documents.
