I use the LaTeX \verbatim command a lot to include printout from computer
programs. Specifically, I use the following \verbatimfile command to
include a whole file of text in verbatim environment.
\newcommand{\beginverb}{\begin{verbatim}}
\newcommand{\inputfile}[1]{\input{#1}}
\newcommand{\verbatimfile}[1]{\expandafter\beginverb\inputfile{#1}}
My problem is that the \verbatim environment reads everything in
and breaks the pages whenever it gets full. Most of my input files
are already broken into pages for a normal ASCII line-printer,
with embedded control-L characters to tell the printer to form feed.
What I would like to do is modify the verbatim environment so that it
recognizes form feeds (^L) to be \clearpage, or some such command
so that LaTeX will break the pages where I have already decided they
should be broken.
Is there a kind TeXpert anywhere who could point out to me what
modifications to the latex.tex source I would have to redefine to make
my wishes come true? Please mail me suggestions and I will summarize
to the net.
