It's not, technically, a public beta. It's an authorized pre-release 
version that requires an authorization number, and also doesn't 
'personalize' the application, as far as "Registered to: " ownership. 
[Even though the 'form' for personalization is part of its install 
process].

I believe a lot of big printing plants and design houses received it, 
but there's no way of accurately second-guessing Quark's strategy. A 
publisher up in Brooklyn gave me his. [the printer who handles his 
biz still uses Quark 4].

It's not a fully-implemented version, meaning there may be features 
that aren't 100% enabled. I gave it a pretty thorough look, and it 
obviously is a departure from quark 4 and 5. It's backward 
compatible, so it opens ver. 3, 4, and 5 files, but only saves in 5 
or 6. However a file can be saved in 5, then opened in 5 and re-saved 
in 4.

The pdf for "What's New" is 9 pages of new stuff, including the part 
related to its ability to write a companion, or standalone Web doc, 
and have a web and print version [or versions] be synced for text, 
etc. [yet maintaining totally different parameters for page 'size' 
amongst other issues] Very cool looking, so far.
