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!
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.
