- I was a brief-lover until I stumbled across a shareware editor written
- by a programmer who wanted an editor that did everything he wanted. He
- wrote it, called it Boxer, and has updated and upgraded it continually
- with great features. It has links to most popular compilers (and you can
- add your own), is has the "column cut and paste" like brief does,
- it also has 50 editable clipboards, so when you cut or copy something,
- you can save it on one of the clipboards (buffer in a window) for use
- later, it has excellent search and replace with optional grep, it has
- sorting of columns, upper-case, lower-case of marked blocks, alpha,
- _complete_ online help with user-definable help pages that you can add
- for your own functions, keystroke record and playback macros, macro
- editor, completely definable keyboard so you can emulate another editor
- should you desire, and it comes with loadable keymaps for Brief, Emacs,
- Wordstar, and other emulations, and much more.
- No, I'm not selling it, just a very happy user. If anyone is
- interested, you can contact the author (the editor is $35-$50,
- depending on which package you elect to buy; and it is download-
- able from many sites, including wustl.archive.edu - not sure about
- that name, but it mirrors almost _everything_ - so people can
- try it first.) at
- BOXER Software
- P.O. Box 3230, Peterborough, NH 03458 - 1-603-924-6602
-
- He also has an 800 number that you can probably get by dialing
- 1-800-555-1212 and asking for "Boxer Software."
-
- Check it out, it really is a great buy.
