I've worked out a solution that I'm reasonably happy with:

Suppose you want the right-hand column of your algorithm to be 2 inches wide. Then you defined the following:


\newlength{\algrhswidth}
\setlength{\algrhswidth}{2in}
\newcommand{\algrhs}[1]{\hfill \parbox[t]{\algrhswidth}{#1}}


And then ...

Clarification: A "clean" solution is nice to have, but one involving messy LaTeX is better than nothing. Worst-case scenario, I can use LaTeX macros or even a LaTeX code generator to cover the mess.

Any advice for how to pull this off?

I'm writing pseudo code within an "algorithmic" environment. I'd like to have two columns within the algorithm. The left column should the standard constructs such as \STATE , \IF , etc. The right column should have explanatory text.

So I'm looking for ...
