Aurora is a DOS based text editor of uncompromising performance and
features. Completely configurable in even the most minute detail, Aurora is a product that
has it all.
The entire program can be made to look and act exactly as you would like
it to; menus, screen colors, keyboard functions, etc. Done almost entirely from popup
windows and dialog boxes the configuration process is very easy. However, even more fine
tuning can be made using it’s extensive built in macro language, the Aurora Macro
Language (AML).
AML is very close to most other high level languages, almost a cross
between Pascal and C. Quite powerful and fairly easy to use AML offers access to the
editor in an almost unheard of fashion. AML is so powerful that a significant portion of
the editor was actually written using it. However, experience with AML is not necessary to
use Aurora effectively.
Speed seems to be this programs biggest feature, and Aurora has a lot of
big features. Every action responds crisply; file loading and saving, search and replace
operations, scrolling and even printing.
Limits don’t seem to apply with Aurora either. Edit as many files
in as many windows as you’d like, up to a total of 1 gigabyte. Unlimited undo and
redo are just a keystroke away, so editing changes can be redone from as far back as
you’d care to venture.
Aurora had no problems working with Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups,
Windows 95 and NT (version 3.51 and 4.0). Long file names are not currently supported
though. Clipboard support is offered for the Windows 3.x products only.
All in all Aurora is a tremendous text editor, certainly worth the
asking price. Anyone who’s editing tasks exceed the ordinary would undoubtedly
benefit from Aurora (this review was written using Aurora).
