cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 07 Mar 2003 : 23:11:33 I'm almost certain that this has to be true... but what of the popular desktop publishing powerhouses were there that worked on macs? What versions should I be looking for? is there a place that is more legal that I should look for them than on the HL servers? I'm in Journalism and I kinda like QuarkXpress......

You could probably pick up something like Quark 3 second hand, it's a small download if you decided to take the other route, although I have ammased an amzing number of copies from second hand computers. -------- LC 2, LC 3, Q605, Perf 638, Colour Classic (160 603e) 6100, 7200, PTP 225 (Quad 604), PM 9600, G4 Cube
candyPunk Full Member USA 856 Posts	Posted - 08 Mar 2003 : 18:28:51 I believe that pagemaker 6.5 runs on 68k. That's a fine program. We use it for our school newspaper, though we're going to move to indesign soon. THAT certainly is not available... { candyPunk } { Captain of Observation, 68k MLA } { 68k Macs liberated: 4} { My baby: Q660av }

cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 25 Mar 2003 : 06:10:44 do I need a tracker? or will the OSX version of just the regular HL client work? " - Because the OSX version can do that much more" I'm thinking of using the 7300 to do some DTP work, especially on the MLAgazine and for SaveThePentiums.

MrLynn Junior Member USA 394 Posts	Posted - 13 Apr 2003 : 13:59:34 Pagemaker 5 was buggy. PM 6 was better. I used to run it on my IIfx with only 8MB RAM + RAMDoubler and System 7.1, and still use version 6.01 on my blue G3 under OS 9.1. Very intuitive, easy to use--though a manual, or a book can help when you get into the fine points. Actually, earlier versions (through 4, I think) ran fine under System 6--used them on my SEs, with Stepping Out. Perfectly serviceable, too. Pagemaker (I started with v. 2) was developed for the Mac in the '80s--PCs couldn't do anything but 80-character typing. Desktop publishing was a Mac revolution. As mentioned, Quark runs fine on 68K Macs--at least through version 3--I never learned it, myself. Designers used it all the time on IIcis. Early versions of Photoshop can be useful, too, and will run on 68K Macs--e.g. v. 2. /Mr Lynn The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn’t have a space program. --Larry Niven Edited by - mrlynn on 13 Apr 2003 14:06:58
cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 13 Apr 2003 : 17:36:46 hehehe.... cool I'm thinking I'll be running Quark4 and Photoshop 4 on the 7300.... I might try to get some stuff for the IIsi under A/UX or system 7.6 though. Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide
