Boxer 5.0 adds Color Syntax Highlighting 
More than 50 Other Features and Options are also Added

PETERBOROUGH, NH - February 20, 1993 - The latest release of the Boxer Text
Editor, version 5.0, enables programmers to view and edit program code in
a multi-color display, with comments, reserved words, string and numeric
constants and symbols appearing in user-defined colors. This feature
enhances programmer productivity by distinguishing various program
elements from one another, and by alerting programmers to mistakes before
program compilation is attempted. Builtin support is provided for all
major programming and telecommunication script languages. Users can easily
customize Boxer to highlight other languages.

Boxer's Color Syntax Highlighting feature helps programmers detect errors
in the following ways: If a comment sequence is left unclosed, subsequent
text will appear in comment coloration, making the problem readily
apparent. If a string sequence is left unclosed, subsequent text appears
in string coloration. Boxer can also be configured to highlight text as it
is typed, so when a reserved word is misspelled, the mistake will be
noticed. Boxer can help detect the types of errors that go unnoticed by a
compiler, and might require hours to locate.

A multi-level Redo command has also been added in version 5.0. Redo allows
the user to undo the effect of the Undo command, allowing for freer
experimentation when editing. Boxer allows up to 4,096 changes to be
undone/redone. Extension-specific configuration allows users to designate
which options are to be active based on the extension of the file being
edited. With this feature, tab size, word wrap, auto indent, etc. can be
made to vary automatically based on the type of file being edited. Eight
extended screen sizes have been added for EGA/VGA editing. An auto-scroll
command allows for hands-off file browsing with variable scroll rate.

Boxer is priced at $56 with a typeset, printed manual; $39 with on-disk
documentation. Boxer requires a PC compatible with 384K of RAM, DOS 2.1
and a 720K floppy or hard disk. Contact:
