Using urxvt, also with TERM=xterm or with xterm proper.

i merged some changes, afaict this commit 541187d5b60e8747477088223acc960e69cebe71 should "fix" it. i put "fix" into quotes, because according to roy smarples this is non-portable behaviour, according to POSIX it's required to return the initial cols value, and stty size should be used instead. he added it anyway though.

Thanks. I've been using stty size but figured I would mention the discrepancy with ncurses.

rofl0r commented 7 years ago

Thanks. I'm sure there's more than one script out there that relied on ncurses' behaviour, so it's good we've changed it.
