Summary description: Store verbatim text in a LaTeX box, for use in places

License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
