Well I must disagree here :) I find it just harder to read Ada code with too
long line length. I use a limit of 80. This works well if you want to print
the code (it is true that I use less printed code these days as screen quality
- especially notebooks ones - are really good) or if you want to have a diff
output side-by-side on two different Window.

So I still think that a limit of 80 is good for any languages. This is the way
GNAT, GCC, GDB, Emacs, GPS, AWS... are coded just to name few!

Pascal.
