BOXER is a remarkably full-featured text editor which has quickly become
the favorite of all types of computer users: programmers and writers,
power users and novices. BOXER is the result of a 10-year effort by a
self-proclaimed perfectionist, and the outcome is a highly polished
software program. Attention to detail is apparent throughout: BOXER's
interface is smooth, intuitive and courteous. Designed with an emphasis
on flexibility, BOXER can be easily configured to suit most every user's
taste. New users consistently praise BOXER in the strongest terms.
A complete feature list would be huge, so here are some of BOXER's most
important capabilities: multi-level Undo and Redo, Color Syntax
Highlighting, multiple files and windows, full mouse support, keyboard
reconfiguration, support for extended screen sizes, column marking,
macros, color, pull-down menus, word processing, and context sensitive
online help. Also: search with wildcards, compile within the editor,
small footprint shell, graphic drawing mode, auto indent, find mating
parenthetical characters, block commands: cut, copy, append, paste,
delete, write, print, fill, sort, total, average, case convert, invert,
entab, detab, more! Software from David Hamel $49-89.
** BOXER 7.5 adds many new features and options! **
Windows Clipboard Support: BOXER/DOS and TKO now communicate directly
with the clipboard in Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Paste text directly
into Boxer from the Windows clipboard; paste text from Boxer into other
desktop programs!
Long Filename Support: BOXER/DOS and TKO provide full support for
creating and editing long filenames in Windows 95. Filenames can be up
to 255 characters long, contain embedded spaces, and use upper and lower
case!
Date Sorting: Boxer has a comprehensive date sort capability which
supports both domestic and international numeric date formats. Sort
lines by mdy, dmy or ymd, with two- or four-digit years, with or without
date separators!
Syntax Highlighting: a third set of up to 1,024 reserved words can be
defined and distinctly colored. Use wildcards (? and *) to quickly
define entire classes of reserved words. Also: enhanced comment
handling; new syntax info for Java, 4DOS, HTML and Perl.
Extra Clipboards, Index: ten additional clipboards areas have been
added in version 7.5. Use the new Index page within Boxer's Clipboard
Manager to view a summary of all 36 clipboards at a single glance.
Longer Lines: BOXER/OS2 and BOXER/TKO can now edit files with lines up
to 3000 characters in length.
