Removing columns is not an acceptable solution (it would break too
many
existing scripts), so I'm afraid we're going to have to make the
output
wider than 80 columns, unless someone can come up with a better
solution.

What about multiline entries with indentation to group fields for
"human readable output"?
For example...
procs memory page
disks faults cpu
r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 ad1 ad2 ad3 ad10
ad12 in sy cs us sy id
2 1 0 193M 1015M 444 2 8 0 4862 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 348 1297 4704 1 7 92
...may become something like...
field_title_0 field_title_1 field_title_2
[subfields go here] [...] [...]
field_title_3 [...] field_title_n
[...] [...] [...]
Does that make sense?
Cheers,
