There is a demo copy of Aviator on the "Software Store" CDROM Volumne 1.
To get a copy of the CDROM, call 1(800)447-1213. The CDROM is put out by
Highland Software, Inc. 1001 Elwell Ct. Palo Alto, CA 94303
(415)493-8567.

The screen that describes "Aviator 1.5.1" says the company address is:

Artificial Horizons, Inc.
Post Office Box 51847
Palo Alto, CA 94303-0725

Email: ahi-in...@ahi.com
Telephone: (415)367-5029
Fax Number: (415)367-6029

It looks like you have to get a license from AHI to run Aviator for more
than 30 seconds at a time. ($150 license + $30 for CDROM+Manual)

Correct, except (1) you don't need the CD if you have the Software Store CD.
The manual is on either CD in postscript files. Print
it out yourself and save some money.
and (2) If you buy 2 or more licenses they are $100 each.
Highly recommended
since this lets you dogfight over the net.
You need a GX board on your sun to make it work.

1.8 (an OpenWIndows version) will be out in a week or two. That CD
will be sent free to anyone who bought a license.
