The Boxer Text Editor has been licensed to customers in more than 70 countries and to dozens of Fortune 500 companies. Our customers have used Boxer for a wide variety of projects in many different industries. The list below is just a small sample of the types of projects for which Boxer has been used.


  • Boxer was used to write software for Coriolis, a U.S. Navy research spacecraft being developed by Spectrum Astro of Gilbert, AZ. Coriolis is a test mission that will carry two Defense Department payloads: 1) Windsat, a Navy polarimetric microwave radiometer experiment to passively measure ocean surface wind vector; and 2) a U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) to monitor solar activity. The spacecraft's two payloads will collect data continuously during the three-year mission.

  • Anthony Farmer of Bally Gaming used Boxer to develop their EVO Platform. The EVO platform creates a powerful environment capable of rapid game development and advanced video and audio features.

  • Space Invaders for the PC was written exclusively using Boxer by programmer Paul Reid. This program won 2nd place in the X2 FTP Site programming contest for Best Game with Source Code. It's an exact replica of the original Space Invaders arcade game! Grab a copy right here

  • Don Martin, PhD, Technical Publications Editor at the Veteran's Administration Research & Development office, uses Boxer for all of his work, including the website he maintains at www.vard.org. Says Don: “Some may consider it old-fashioned to do HTML coding with a text editor, but I prefer knowing not only that something works, but also why and how it works. This can only be learned by doing it barehanded.”

  • Streat Instruments has used Boxer exclusively to develop the embedded software in their line of moisture measurement products, which are sold in 30 countries around the world.

  • Roger Kimball, Managing Editor of The New Criterion magazine, uses Boxer for all his work on the magazine. Boxer was also used for editing these books prior to publication: Tenured Radicals, Walter Bagehot's Physics and Politics, Against the Grain and the Future of the European Past, and Hilton Kramer's new book The Twilight of the Intellectuals.
