QuarkXPress 5.01 Released

The first significant update to QuarkXpress in months (which still does not incorporate Mac OS X support), version 5.01 purportedly contains a host of performance enhancements that "will ensure faster and more reliable operation of the software."

Among the major new features is a new emergency function in Quark License Administrator. When network service becomes disabled, QuarkXPress users can use an emergency key launch sequence to launch QuarkXPress 5.01 for up to 120 hours while the network is re-established.

The 12 MB update is available from Quark's Web site, and on CD-ROM for $10 shipping.
