Hi...
Yes, this is a reply to a pretty old message, but I've found nothing
any more helpful in the archives, so...

Ok, I tested it, by trying to use it with my LyX version 1.0.3, and it
does not work. :( If I include this exactly as it appears above in my
preamble, I get 6 LaTeX errors referring to undefined control sequences. I am
guessing (though I know no (La)TeX) that something should be after the
"renewcommand", as in every other instance where I've seen it used, a bunch of
stuff in {} follows, but not here.
Can someone tell me what's missing? I'd find this very useful for
printing out my programming labs, among other things. :)
(I won't even ask about algorithm floats; I'll just wait until their
use makes it into the documentation! ;)
I also tried a suggestion from Christopher Sawtell, that one use the
following (with \usepackage{verbatim} in preamble) to include a file:
\verbatiminput[tabstop]{<filename>}
However, trying such things as "\verbatiminput[4]{/home/blah/file}"
doesn't seem to do anything for me; this appears as
\latex latex
\backslash
verbatiminput[4]{/home/rassilon/proj/csc234/craps.cc}
...and does nothing -- except that everything after "verbatiminput["
actually appears in the document.
I am now quite confused, and am off to simpler pursuits, like learning
gnuplot. ;)
Any help appreciated,
