Dear Mr. Davidson,

I just received an email from Mr. Sascha Steinbiss, the
maintainer for icdiff,  and tried implementing his advice on
columns. I have received messages from Mr. Jeff Kaufman, the original creator.
Copies of my emails have been sent you too.

My system's screen accommodated upto 170 columns.

icdiff --cols=170 file1.txt file2.txt | less -R

So this should rest the case, with your permission.

Best wishes,
Rajib
Etc.
