I don't think it's important to support non-80-column modes, but IMO it's important to ensure that the output of DZ is readable for the user.

To maky myself clear: if support for non-80-column modes is a lot of work, my suggestion is:


   IF ( "restore screen mode" == ON or
        no_of_columns_of_current_mode != 80 or
        graphics_mode == ON )
      setvideomode( 80x25 );
