You're right, I meant the project is dead in the sense of not being  
maintained.

DoxBox is based on FreeOTFE which is slightly older than Truecrypt, although  
Truecrypt is based on E4M which is older than FreeOTFE.

Its a matter of choice, of course, DoxBox has some features Truecrypt doesn't  
- like Linux compatibiity - and Truecrypt has some of its own, like OS disc  
encryption.
