I'm not sure what you mean!

I tried:

    @Floater @Location{AfterLine}
    @Tbl
    {
    @Rowa address@hidden main() "{"}
    ... 23 other rows ...
    @Rowa A{"}"}
    }

But it would not break across a page boundary:-(

I also tried @Location{Raw} but it made no difference.

I have a manual solution but it is a bit tedious: I have "top" and
"bottom" definitions so I can break up a code snippet that spans a page
into two boxes instead of one.
