set window width

[Dimitrios Apostolou]

Hello list,

when working with emacs I usually have one (or more) frame maximised and I 
split vertically in as many windows as possible. However after splitting I 
want to set width to exactly 80 columns, so that I can split as many fit.

I've been searching for some M-x set-window-width function but I can't 
find anything. The closer solution I've found is

  M-x set-variable window-min-width 80

and then drag the fringe with the mouse. That's suboptimal imho. Any 
better ideas?


Thanks in advance,
Dimitris
