I have a figure consisting of text in a \verbatim environment. The figure
is too large to fit on one page, but LaTeX's figures won't break across
pages. The text is too wide to go double-column, so I would appreciate
advice on how best to solve the page-breaking problem.

Incidentally, the LaTeX \framebox and \fbox commands seem to interact
with verbatim text in a way which does not seem reasonable---multiple
spaces get compressed to a single space. For example

	\verb|The quick          brown                    fox|

becomes
	      The quick brown fox

Is this supposed to happen? It occurs with the boxedminipage style as
well.
