What I'm saying is that we already have introduced variable field width in some sense, so the code that prints out the data might just as well drop all pretenses of dealing with fixed field widths. For "classic" mode the field widths (and positions) would stay as they are and anything else could use different pre-computed field widths. > The current code prints out each line as soon as the data is returned from > the server.

It would certainly work for the things I use ntpq for, but that may not be the case for other folks. What I had in mind was to simply allocate the available space more intelligently based on what we can know before statrting to print out the data.
