Quark Express 6 - Lease, purchase or crack

[MarillionFan]

The missus has been offered 10 days worth of work but needs to use Quark Express 6 on the Mac.

She's chucking up the usual (I dont have this software etc) so cant do it rubbish.

Anyway, had a quick look around and version 6 seems to be an old one. Quick Ebay is showing nothing and nothing much coming up on the web.

Does anyone have a copy they may want to sell or lease out. I might looked at cracked but obviously (copying is theft?)

They're up to version 8 now; version 6 is from 2003 and was supplanted by version 7 in 2006 (according to Wikipedia, which is never, ever wrong, much).

Think of it as Visual Studio .Net 2003, and decide whether you think using a cracked copy of that would make you a bad person.

It would be more like cracking Office 97. Tricky one... I don't advocate piracy but it's a little hard to see many alternatives.

Unless... does QE8 let you load and save QE6 files in a compatible format? And, do they offer a free trial?
