The use of SET WIDTH was buggy. It should be fixed now. I think it's likely that Frans was outputting to a file. I don't see problems with using the width of the terminal on Linux. (On Windows, I guess it probably doesn't work, because I doubt Windows has the right ioctl. I guess that there is some Windows-specific magic to find out the terminal width, but PSPP doesn't know about it.)
