+ASCII BOX DRAWING - THE BOXES FILTER PROGRAM
+
+boxes is a text filter which can draw ASCII art boxes around
+its input text. These boxes may also be removed, even if they
+have been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since
+boxes may be open on any side, boxes can also be used to
+create regional comments in any programming language. With
+the help of an editor macro or mapping, damaged boxes can
+easily be repaired.
+
+This is useful for making the function headers in your
+programming language look better, for spicing up your news
+postings and emails, or just for decorating your documentation
+files.
+
+New box designs of all sorts can easily be added and shared
+by appending to a free format configuration file. boxes was
+intended to be used with the vim(1) text editor, but can be
+tied to any text editor which supports filters.
