\begin{verbatim}..\end{verbatim} doesn't prevent automated line breaks
Richard Mathar
within a verbatim environment:
\documentclass[11pt,twoside]{article}
%\usepackage{times}
\begin{document}
\begin{verbatim}
ATTRIBUTE Vector recent(TEMPSINPAR,float) // TEMPSINPAR LakeShore temperatures (Kelvin)
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}
This prints as intended, ie, the long line within the verbatim environment
is cut by the paper margin. But if the 'times' packages is included (as
indicated in the source code), latex shows a much too small overfull box and
introduces a line break, though the long line is not supposed to be handled
that way. How does my version with the times package "change" the behaviour
of the verbatim environment? [Note that TeX, Version 3.1415 (C version 6.1)
of LaTeX2e <1997/06/01> works as expected, ie, it honours the verbatim
environment and does not break the long line.]
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)

In the courier font hyphenation is permitted, I'm not sure why. In cmtt
hyphenation is disallowed.
One way round your problem is to use the verbatim package, like this:
\usepackage{verbatim}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\verbatim@font}{\normalfont\ttfamily\hyphenchar\font=-1%
\let\do\do@noligs
\verbatim@nolig@list}
\makeatother
The \hyphenchar command dissallows hyphenation.
Another is copy the contents of ot1pcr into a style file, edit them
and load the font defintions as a package. This assumes some knowedge
of how .fd files and packages work.
Does anybody know why hyphenation is permitted by courier but not by
cmtt?

Does anyone know why the verbatim environment relies on this idiosyncracy
of cmtt? It should disable hyphenation explicitly.

and his proposal also works if the verbatim package is not included explicitly.
