Hello,
I am trying to use the verbatim scheme proposed by David Salomon in his
book  The Advanced TeXbook on pages 179 & 180.   Unfortunately I am not
getting it to work.

I have attached two files --   verbatim
which is the scheme and the file "example"  which is also from his
book on page 178.

These two files are attached below --  Executing tex on the example
file creates the error message  "Use of gobble doesn't match its
definition."

What is going on here?   Many thanks in advance.
