 - 1. Introduction

Thank you for installing the text editor Kon!

Kon is a text editor suitable for most editing tasks, including programming, 
but is not intended to be a complete IDE. Instead, the focus is to be a fast 
and easily available editor to be used for most tasks where viewing or editing
a text file (or in some cases a binary file) is involved. See of it as a super-
charged replacement for notepad.

Kon may be evaluated for a period of 30 days. If you are satisfied after
evaluating Kon, please register! See further down this file or 
http://www.koneditor.com.

Download and run KonSetup.exe. The program will guide you through the 
installation.

 - 3. Support

Kon is a spare-time project: The author will do his very best to provide 
support to each user, but unfortunately, no support guarantees can be given.
