How to enable a 80 character column marker ?

I am writing code that needs to comply with a no-more-than-80-chars-per-line requirement.

How do I enable the column marker of TextPad? (not to be confused with line wrapping).

I found a suggestion from 2001 for this feature but could not figure out how to enable it. It is already implemented, right?

Thanks,

Kam

Well, you could use line wrapping. Create a line with 80 characters in it, drag the window until it's just that width. Then, when a line wraps, you know you've gone too far.

Not ideal, but it might get you by.
