Boxes is a command line program which draws, removes, and repairs ASCII art
boxes. It operates as a text filter. The generated boxes may even be removed
and repaired again if they were 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.

Boxes is useful for making the function headers in your programming language
look better, for spicing up news postings and emails, or just for decorating
documentation files. Since the drawn box is matched in size to your input
text, you can use boxes in scripts to dynamically add boxes around stuff.
