Ken Keys released a new beta of TinyFugue (tf.tcp.com/~hawkeye/tf/). The new beta now supports 256 colors and much more, also fixed a whole slew of bugs and whatnot. With the new release I started poking around a bit more with my old scripts and created a new feature I think everyone will enjoy.
I figured out how to gag all "communication channels" (guild, city, market, tells, etc) and send them to another window (including their color attributes). There is great potential for this code to be used in other ways as well. With a few tweaks you could easily gag and send any text/information to other windows (status, score, time changes, who, etc).
There is no "feature" of TF that does split windows, I do this by taking advantage of a few Linux/Unix/Cygwin programs. TF gives you the ability to send information to "files" with the commands tfopen, tfclose, and tfwrite (see /help tfio). In Linux/Unix/Cygwin you can create files that are really pipes. A pipe doesn't hold/save information like a normal file, it's more a means of transferring data between commands/programs.
For example:
Executing that line in your shell (bash or whatever you use) will run the "find" program, listing all contents of the "/" (root) directory. The output of the find program is piped to the "grep" program, which filters out and displays anything matching "tfrc.tf". The "|" character is a built-in pipe the shell uses. You can create your own pipes using the "mknod" command.
For example:
This command will create a pipe in your current directory named "mypipe". You can now have programs send/receive data from "mypipe", using it to talk to eachother.
What I did first was create pipes for the different channel groups I wanted to display:
This created 5 pipes for me to send/receive data from.
Then I started up a terminal and ran "screen" (www.gnu.org/software/screen/); screen is a program that allows you to run several terminal windows in one window (it splits the screen horizontally as many times as you like, similar to vim/emacs, and run a terminal in each part). I then split the screen window up into 5 separate parts. If you don't want to use screen you could just as easily start 5 separate terminal windows.
In each terminal window I ran the following:
Where PIPENAME is one of the 5 pipes I created up above. Running each of these commands won't appear to do anything, it won't even give you a new line to run any commands. What it's doing is waiting for input to come from the different PIPENAME's, so that it can display it.
Now you'll want to open a new terminal window and startup tf with the following code included in your scripts (adjusted slightly to reflect the channels you're wishing to display, the location of your created pipes, and the proper line for your prompt if you're not running with CONFIG PROMPT ALL):
First the code opens each of those 5 pipes for writing. Then it creates triggers for all of your channels. When a channel communication is spotted, TF will do a few different things.
First it will gag the line that triggered it, encode it with the ansi color codes that terminals understand, and then send it to the pipes you created where it will instantly be displayed. Next it creates a trigger that catches everything; this new trigger does the same thing as the first, gagging/encoding the text and passing it along to the correct pipe.
There is also a prompt trigger that is always running. Whenever the prompt trigger sees your prompt it checks to see if you are grabbing a communication channel. If you are it deletes that trigger, if you're not it does nothing. Since all communication channels start with a certain pattern and end with a prompt, this code will catch all lines (not just the first one).
One thing you should take note of:
On my Debian system I HAD to have the 5 terminals open with the "cat < PIPENAME" commands running BEFORE I ran TF with that code. If I ran TF first without having the other terminals open, TF would hang and I had to CTRL-C to kill the triggers. I'm not certain if this behavior will be the same on all systems, but I just thought I'd give you a heads-up.
I solved this problem by creating an interface to the above script. I'll post it in a reply to this post.
Below is a screenshot of this script in action:

I was referring to the screenshot. I didn't even count the characters to be honest. I took a quick glance and it seemed like a whole lot more than 80 characters. 
Here's my .vimrc. I didn't make the original file, but edited some stuff here and there. I have mine to wordwrap still after 100 characters, which I should probably change now that I think about it.
