There's this problem we have with Mac providers not doing their conversion to ASCII
correctly, in such a way that some of their lines are more than 80 columns.  This
is a big problem on 80-column displays.  It looks really awkward to have the lines
wrapped so that every other line has just one word on it.  Alternately, you could
reformat paragraphs to have lines the right length, but there is *no way* to know
when this is the right thing to do.  You don't want to reformat poems.

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
formatting's not easy
as it seems to you.

So with xtechinfo I went for a compromise.  I didn't do autowrap, so that sometimes a few characters on the right edge of those 83-column lines are obscured, but I found this to be more readable than having every other line have just one word on it.  I made this decision before DOS came around and it became easy to mistakenly put no newlines in your paragraph.  So what's the "right way" to handle long lines?  I assert that there is no single right way.  For the next release of xtechinfo, I will have a menu option that lets you switch back and forth between autowrap and non-autowrap.

Now, there is a third possibility.  You could look at the widest line in the file, and word
wrap if it's more than, say, 128 characters wide, otherwise expand the text window to be
wider than the widest line.  But what if somebody were doing paragraphs without newlines, and
the paragraphs were all short, < 128 characters.  It wouldn't look right to expand the text
window to cover 3/4 of the screen just to show those paragraphs all on one line.

There's probably some way to analyze the widths of all lines in the file and guess a
reasonable formatting strategy, but I'm not sure I want to make things that complex.
