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.
+Do you need to include blocks of verbatim text inside figures, tables or
+footnotes? The verbatim environment is not compatible with some of
+these other environments. But now, the verbbox environment allows you

+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.
Input to the verbatim box can either be as text typed into the verbbox
-environment, or else as the contents of a file, provided as an argument
-to the \verbfilebox command. In either case, an optional argument may
-be provided to modify the text appearance, for example, by changing the
-font size of the verbatim text placed into the box.

-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.
+The \addvbuffer command, while supporting this package, also provides a
+flexible way to add vertical buffer space above and below most LaTeX
+objects, which can be handy in a variety of applications.
