It looks like there are currently 3 auctions on eBay for FM6 .. one for
Windows, Mac, and Unix. Just enter "FrameMaker 6" in the search field.
eBay can be a good place to get old versions of software, but you do
take your chance at getting something bogus. Be sure to check out the
seller to see that he/she looks reasonably legit, and it's best if they
accept refunds. That's not always possible, but if you do get a bad disk
or something that's not as described, you can dispute it via PayPal
(assuming you use PayPal to pay .. which I'd recommend for eBay purchases).
Just be sure that the CD comes with a serial number.
Cheers,

Hi Clara,
Yes, if you save the files as .mif files or .rtf files, they should be openable in Frame
6.0, but perhaps not pristine, due to the large version gap. Any post-6.0 functionality
will be lost, so you'll need to be careful not to use any of that functionality. As for
where to get a copy, that's a tough one. I would suggest e-Bay or craigslist or somewhere
like that. It's 8- or 9-year-old software, after all. For kicks, I Googled
"FrameMaker 6.0 purchase" and got several promising links.
Good luck,
Leigh

Subject: Save FrameMaker 8.0 files to 6.0
I am doing some freelance work in FrameMaker. One of the requirements is
that the work be done in FM 6.0. I am currently working with FM 8.0. Is
there a way to develop in 8.0 and then somehow save the files to be
compatible to 6.0. Maybe saving them as a mif files? Would that work?
Also, does anyone know where I could get a copy of FM 6.0?
Thank you in advance for your help.
