Announcing BOXER/TKO !
______________________
We are proud to announce a new product in the BOXER family:
BOXER/TKO. In response to requests from our users, we have
developed a new product which is capable of editing much
larger files than its predecessor. BOXER/TKO can directly
edit multi-megabyte files, or dozens of smaller files!
BOXER/TKO can use up to 16 MB of installed memory to edit
text files, resulting in a capability to edit files as
large as approximately 12 MB in size. BOXER/TKO uses DOS
Extender technology to run in Protected Mode, and thereby
gain access to vast amounts of installed RAM for use in
editing. In other words, BOXER/TKO unleashes your 80x86 CPU
from 8088 mode and makes natural use of your installed
memory. As the "TKO" acronym suggests, we've scored a
Technical Knockout!
BOXER/TKO is not a Virtual Memory editor, so there are no
delays due to disk swapping during an edit session. After
loading file(s) into memory on startup, the entire editing
session is absent of disk swaps. As a result, the initial
file load time in BOXER/TKO (~10-15 secs/MB) is longer
than in a Virtual Memory editor, which loads a file
incrementally (and sometimes redundantly) throughout an
entire edit session. Because no disk swapping occurs while
editing, you'll find the overall editing experience in
BOXER/TKO to be faster, and more pleasant.
BOXER/TKO shares the full command set and impressive
performance of its sibling, BOXER. All of the features and
options available in BOXER are present in BOXER/TKO. The
BOXER/TKO package also includes BOXER, which may be better
suited to certain editing tasks, or for floppy disk based
editing.
In order to develop BOXER/TKO, Boxer Software has licensed
use of the 286|DOS-Extender(tm) from the industry's leader
in DOS Extender technology, Phar Lap Software. Under the
terms of that license, we are not permitted to sub-license
the right to duplicate BOXER/TKO. As a result, BOXER/TKO
cannot be distributed through Shareware channels. As is the
case with BOXER, BOXER/TKO is sold with a 30-day money back
guarantee.
PRICING: BOXER/TKO is priced at $89.00, plus $6/$8 for
U.S./Overseas shipping, respectively. BOXER/TKO includes:
printed reference manual, quick reference card, coupon for
1 Free upgrade, newsletter, upgrade notices, technical
support, special offers, and a bonus program. Please use
the order form in the file REGISTER.DOC. Registered users
of BOXER are entitled to discounted pricing, and have been
sent information detailing how they can upgrade. Site
Licenses are available, contact us for details.
COMPATIBILITY: BOXER/TKO is compatible with all PC industry
standards for protected mode, expanded memory (EMS) and
extended memory (XMS). It is compliant with the Virtual
Control Program Interface (VCPI) and the DOS Protected Mode
Interface (DPMI).
BOXER/TKO remains DESQview-aware and UltraVision-aware, as
is BOXER. It can run as a DOS application under both OS/2
2.0 or better, and Windows 3.0 or better. When run under
Windows Enhanced mode, or OS/2 2.0, BOXER/TKO can utilize
the Virtual Memory provided thereby, allowing even larger
files to be edited.
REQUIREMENTS: BOXER/TKO requires an 80286 or better CPU,
DOS 3.3 or better, and a hard drive with approximately 1 MB
free space. 2 MB or more of installed RAM is recommended.
A memory manager is not required, but if one is installed,
it must be either Int 15, VCPI, XMS or DPMI compatible.
(This is true of virtually all memory managers, except
the EMM386.SYS manager delivered with DOS 4.01.)
