Here's my situation.

I use Linux (right now Fedora Core 6) for my day-to-day computing. I have an
ancient Sun Ultra 1 which I maintain solely for access to FrameMaker 5.5.6.
I also have a Windows PC that I use for running some commercial programs
like QuickBooks. I access the Sun and the Windows machine through my
principal Linux machine.

I would like to retire the Sun but this would leave me without access to FM.
Since there is still no Linux version, I would like to put FM on the
Windows machine. I have no need for any of the features past 5.5.6 and am
unwilling to pay for new software. Apparently there is no Adobe upgrade
path from Solaris to Windows.

I have checked eBay for used FM, as well as TradeMe (the NZ version of eBay)
but I haven't seen any copies available.

So does anyone have a legit copy of FM 5.5.6 (or newer) for Windows that
they would be willing to sell me? Or any other suggestions as to how I can
shut the Sun down and still have access to FM?

Cheers,

Larry
