Restrictions:
Shareware versions of BOXER may be freely distributed, subject to the
following restrictions:
* BOXER must be distributed without modification, in its entirety.
* BOXER may not be distributed by any for-profit entity which fails to
disclose the following points somewhere in their literature:

tribution fee, and does not cover the cost of the program itself.

beyond the evaluation period prescribed by the Author.
Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free. We urge
all parties who distribute Shareware to help educate the public about
the true nature of Shareware distribution.

without the explicit consent of the Author.

Suggested long caption:
-----------------------
BOXER is a full-featured text editor which
will appeal to both programmers and less
experienced users - a feat not easily ac-
complished. BOXER has all the powerful fea-
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
Or, said another way:
«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
«Boxer ist das WordPerfect unter den Texteditoren. Dagegen
sieht der Wettbewerb wie EDLIN aus.»
- Chet Langin Software
