>Does anyone have an environment for formating algorithms in LaTeX?

You could try using my recently-posted macros for formatting C programs.
They are not very dependent on C syntax and format algorithms in a
reasonable way.  Each line in the input corresponds to a line in the
output, and tabs can be used to control indentation.

Your example could be rendered like this:

\begin{figure}\caption{Name of Algorithm}
\begin{cprog}

i = 1

for j = 0 to 100
	i = i + j

\end{cprog}
\end{figure}

All the text is rendered in the normal text font, except that comments in
/*...*/ will be in a slanted font, and strings in "..." or '...' in
typewriter.  Character pairs like <= and != get converted into single
symbols like $\le$ and $\ne$.

The {cprog} environment is a verbatim one, so you can't use TeX commands to
change fonts or whatever within it.  It would be easy to hack cprog.sty so
that \, {, and } still have their usual meanings.  Just remove commands
that say \makeactive\\, \makeactive{, and \makeactive}, and those that say
\def{[...], \def}[...], \expandafter\def\activebackslash[...].  Also remove
\begingroup and \cprogarg from the definitions of \cprog and \cprog*, and
\endgroup from the definition of \endcprog.  I think this would be
sufficient.

If you do this, rename the style file and the environment so there won't
be mutant cprog.sty files around.
