Columns 1-72: program text, 73-80: line number, 80-90: patch level - on punch cards! Even with just 72 columns, ALGOL programs hardly ever needed wrapping. Come to think of it I really hated the style of putting commas at the beginning of lines:

	INTEGER
		 A
		,B
		,C
		,ANOTHER_VARIABLE
		;

just to save a little bit of work shifting commas and semis around when inserting new variables (come to think of it I hate semicolons and statement terminators).

OK, I'll admit now I make each program statement one line and let the editor wrap – something Eclipse doesn't seem to do too well. Is there a way to enable this?
