- BOXER is a full-featured text editor which
- will appeal to both programmers and less
- experienced users - a feat not easily ac-

- tures needed by programmers, but these do not
- encumber the beginning user. BOXER is also
- suitable for most word processing tasks.
- A full feature list could fill this page;
- here's just a few: edit multiple files
- through multiple windows, on-line context
- sensitive help, mouse support, CUA-style
- menus, keystroke macros, search & replace,
- block/column/line marking, graphic drawing
- mode, DOS shell, compilation. New in 5.0:
- Color Syntax Highlighting - displays reserved
- words, comments, constants, etc. in user-
- defined colors. BOXER consistently receives
- very strong reviews.
- (ASP) Shareware $35-50 from David R. Hamel.

- =======================================
- What reviewers have said about BOXER:
- =======================================
-
-
- "Boxer... promises programmers 'heavyweight performance, wel-
- terweight price'. And it delivers, with a feature set comparable
- to those found in many commercial text editors for programmers,
- yet with a price tag of only $35."
-
- - PC Magazine, 11/24/92
-
- "In my nearly 20 years of using and programming computers, I've
- spent a great deal of time looking at text editors. I've
- searched for an editor that felt right to me... I'm still looking
- for the perfect text editor, but in my search I've found a
- shareware product that comes as close as any commercial effort."
-
- - BYTE Magazine, 9/91
-
- "What distinguishes BOXER from a host of other text editors is
- its up-to-date design, complete with mouse support and pull-down
- menus, and its versatility...It is an excellent programmer's
- editor..."
- - Richard O'Reilly, Los Angeles Times
-
- "Feature for feature, BOXER is the BEST Shareware text editor
- available today!"
- - Dr. File Finder, Shareware Magazine
-
- "BOXER is one of the most useful text editors I've come across.
- It's proof that the quality of shareware these days meets or
- exceeds that of commercial software in many categories."
-
- - Stan Veit, ComputerCraft
-
- "Possibly the best Shareware text editor available. Ounce for
- ounce the number of features in this package give a whole new
- meaning to the classification of 'text editor'. Definitely of
- COMMERCIAL QUALITY. Nothing quite like it"
-
- - Dennis Scarff, Public Brand Software
-
- "VDE and QEdit watch out! There's a new contender for champion
- text editor called BOXER. ...the undo command is outstanding...a
- first-class editor at a reasonable price."
-
- - Steve Enzer, Alternative Software Bulletin
-
-

-
- «Feature für Feature, BOXER ist der BESTE Shareware-Editor
- auf dem Markt!»
- - Dr. File Finder
-
- «In meiner mehr als 20 jährigen Erfahrung mit Computern habe
- ich immer nach dem perfekten Editor gesucht, einem Editor,
- der zu mir paßt...ich suche immer noch, aber von allen
- Editoren kam Boxer bisher meier Idealvorstellung genauso
- nah, wie alle kommerziellen Produkte.»
- - Barry Nance, BYTE Magazine
-
- «VDE und QEDIT habt acht! Ein neuer Champion Text-Editor
- betritt die Bühne. Sein Name ist BOXER...der UNDO-befehl
- ist überragend...ein First-Class Editor zum vernünftigen
- Preis!»
- - Steve Enzer, Alternative Software Bulletin
