The only specific thing about it is that it is
'smaller than the size set for its container'
which encourages the lines to wrap.

It might have been '99', given the frame was 100.
The layout (BorderLayout.CENTER) was always
going to ensure that it expanded to fill the available
space.

Note that if you remove the ..overriden getPreferredSize,
the JScrollPane and the and the setSize on the frame,
the GUI should end up the exact correct size to display
the text, but it will again suffer the 'very wide text' syndrome..

Always, always, always* use pack().

...hmm.  Don't forget to be reading those JavaDocs.
