+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.
+
+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.
