code examples in a document

[John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com>]

For those who place code in their document, how do you handle code lines
that are so long that they wrap in the document. I have script codes that I
need to include in one of my sections...all in all, about 75 lines of code.

First, what I've done to minimize the damage.

1) Place code on landscape pages.
2) Use 9pt Courier New to eliminate proportional spacing and to get maximum
line length.

However, some of the lines of code I'm getting are just too long and they
wrap to the next line, which also throws out the indent alignment.

How do you handle it?
