    Whenever the regular
    user logs in and tries to open Quark, they get an alert box stating 'You >cannot use Quark on a locked volume', and Quark refuses to load. Wassup
    with that? I'd call Quark, but I've got better ways of spending the next
    24 hours . . .

    Quark keeps its Preferences file in the Quark folder. Therefore, all users who run Quark must be allowed to write to the folder where Quark is located.

    I bet the user you have created does not have permission to write to the Quark folder. Give the user write access to whatever folder Quark is in and you'll be OK.

    IMHO Quark is a bug.

    If you want to change, you may consider InDesign

    I don't want to change, Glo8al was just being unhelpful.

    . . . fairly accurate though :) BTW, in my little universe, Quark only
    just scraped through with the OS X version. We'd already ordered
    InDesign, and were on the verge of switching when Quark 6 came out.
    We'll order Quark 6 now, but we'll be comparing it's performance with
    InDesign very closely. What with the lack of support for Adobe's MM
    fonts in OS X (which our old Quark docs are full of) and the real
    possibilities of some virgin Quark 6.0 patching to do, being confronted
    with another piece of software to learn doesn't seem much of a hurdle.
    We've got work to do wherever we turn . . .

    Another tuppenny bit's worth . . .

    . . . BTW, whilst we're on the subject, does anyone know how to get
    Quark 5 running under Classic to recognize TCP/IP network printer names?
    The Quark print box only displays the assigned IPs. The OSX print
    center utility does the job for the native environment, but what about
    Classic? I thought perhaps I could use a hosts file in the system
    folder, but that doesn't seem to work . . .
