I couldn't get this to work with your verbatim.sty (v1.4i 92/01/20)
that I found on rusinfo.  Is the version in AMSLaTeX different or am I
doing something wrong?  The input I used is:

     \documentstyle[verbatim]{article}
     \newenvironment{zcode}{\begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}}%
                           {\end{verbatim}\end{quote}}
     \begin{document}
     \begin{zcode}
     Quoted verbatim text.
     \end{zcode}
     \end{document}

The results with emTeX 3.0 and LaTeX 3/25/92 are:

     Runaway argument?
