+The style file verbatimbox has been created for the report writer's
+convenience.
+
+Do you need to include blocks of verbatim text inside figures or
+tables?  The verbatim environment is not compatible with some of these
+other environments.  But now, the verbbox environment allows you to
+input verbatim text and store it in a LaTeX box.  That box then becomes
+generally usable in all other LaTeX environments, and can be simply
+recalled.  
+
+This style therefore allows for a greater use of the verbatim
+environment within other LaTeX constructs where verbatim was previously
+inaccessible.
+
+Sorry I don't have a separate documentation file, but it's very simply
+documented in the style file itself and in the verbatimbox_example.
