Introduction
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Aurora is one of the finest text editors available today. Many hours
have gone into the development and testing of this software. However, we
can only continue to develop and support the software if those who use
Aurora purchase a license for it. Aurora is very reasonably priced, but
it is not free. You may try this software for up to 30 days with no
obligation to pay for using it (subject to the conditions stated in the
Aurora Editor User's Guide). If you continue to use Aurora after the
30-day evaluation period, you must purchase a fully licensed copy. For
ordering and pricing information, see ORDERFRM.DOC.
