Hi John:

A very powerful method of simplifying code has to do with how you format the 
listing. For example put a page break at the beginning of each subroutine.  For 
each new loop entry indent the listing.  When this is done on what many would 
call good code there will be no case where more than one face of one sheet of 
paper is needed.

If the main program has a long loop with a bunch of code (no subs) between the 
top and bottom of the loop it would take many sheets of paper to print the main 
routine.  This is poor programming as it violates a span of control concept. 
Much better to make the intermediate code a routine that's called, now the main 
program fits on one face of one sheet of paper.

Microsoft has a couple of paper back books on this general topic.  Also see:
