12 BetterString is a stringgadget replacement. It is created for MUI, so using it
13 should eliminate the problems with the original BOOPSI stringclass.
14 The class offers the user to do number arithmetic, like increase, decrease and
15 bin<->hex conversion. It has filename completion, ability to mark, cut, copy
16 and paste text - Both via mouse and keyboard. The length of the contents
17 buffer will dynamically be expanded to hold all of what the user type (unless
18 a maximum length is given)
20 It is used by a wide range of well-known MUI-based application like YAM
21 (Yet Another Mailer) or SimpleMail as the main textediting MUI gadget.
