in reply to On what column do you wrap your code?

I have a wide screen, so I wrap my functional code at column 80 and place any temporary/debugging code starting at column 82 and do not wrap it. This is made nicer by the fact that the editor I use, UltraEdit, can place a vertical line at any column. I have it set to column 80.

    OT: I love UltraEdit when I'm forced to use Windows. On my native Mac OS, I use BBEdit.

    I use UltraEdit also and I have a vertical column set at column 78. I don't always wrap there, but in general I attempt to not go too far past it.
