I just picked up the verbatimfile style from the latex-style archive,
and have to questions about it. First, the verbatimlisting
environment doesn't number blank lines. Second, it doesn't seem to
deal well with tabs. I took a brief stab at getting the macro number
each line (replacing the everypar with every{cr,vbox,hbox}) to no
avail. Before I try something complicated has anyone solved either of
these problems?

I understand where the tabs are going, but would love it someone has a way to get TeX to deal with them. So, I guess that my immediate problem has been solved, but I get the impression that there might be a "cleaner" solution.

The best solution to the tabs problem is the Unix command "expand". Honest. Trying to do it correctly in TeX is real hard. Much easier to just expand the tabs ahead of time and be done with it.

Here are some macros I cobbled together from LaTeX, other's examples and the TeXbook. They cope with both tabs and blank lines. It took me quite a while to debug them, and I wouldn't stake my life on there not being any special cases they don't cope with. %---------------------- Cut Here ----------------------- % \inputverbatim and \listing based on \listing from The TeXbook.
