Grey Wolf boxes

[Ganellon]

After reading the forums here, I saw Grey Wolf use boxes to represent memory with strings, and I thought it was pretty effective. It got my attention, anyway. So I wrote a class that does something similar. Here's sample code and output.

#include "boxer.h"

int main(void)
{
  boxer info = boxer("Class draws boxes");
  info.box();
  boxer demo = boxer("With special effects...", db, true);
  demo.box();
  boxer spchars = boxer("And special \t\r\b\\0\n characters", ul, false);
  spchars.box();
  return 0;
}

The class header and implementation files are attached to the thread posted below, free to use, modify, whatever. It's my first attempt at writing a class, so it's not bulletproof.

You don't seem to have the pointers.

Probably not, but can you elaborate?
