- Introduction
- ────────────
- 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.
