Boxer replaces the last thing the Palm didn't replace, Floppy disks.
ALL SOURCE IS INCLUDE FOR PALM AND MAC, but the mac stuff might not work.
And a few other things.
Boxes are Filestreams on the Palm.
MacBox (if it worked) can take any file and "box" it into a .pdb file.
That can be hotsynced to the palm, you can take your $200-$400 floppy disk home,
and hotsync it there.
MacUnbox can then unpack it.
However that is boring, so while it is on the palm ....
You can delete it.
You can beam it to someone else using boxer.
If it was a pdb of a palm database you can install it.
If it is text, you can convert it to a DOC file so you can read it on the palm.
If it is a GZipped file it can unzip it.
If it is a TAR file you can selectively untar entries (or the whole thing).
If it is a ZIP file you can unzip individual files (or the whole thing).
But it gets even better.
I've included at no extra charge (except palm battery drain):
Atache - so you can web serve (like Apache) from your palm,
(Hi)Browz - so you can grab boxes off the internet (using the PQA/INetLib on the Palm VII or V with Omnisky) - this doesn't work by itself, see PQAnywhere... Web pages can then use URLs of the form palm:NZIP.appl?<url to the box file> to automatically download (like PalmGear's PQA loader, but it works with any file under 60k).
LoBrowz - so you can do the same thing as HiBrowz without the Palm VII stuff.
ZLib.prc (with source) to do the decompression.
PQAnywhere so you can do a download for arbitrary URLs on a VII.
(to be nice, I've included DOS 2 compatible and Linux versions of box and unbox).
