There must be two versions.  My wife (Masters student at San Jose State)
recently purchased PageMaker 4.0 (Educational version) for her SE at a 
special sale ($150) at SJSU's bookstore (normally $200) -- it seems to be 
complete.  It is marked that it is not upgradeable, but I don't consider 
this as a significant disadvantage, as we probably won't miss most of the 
gee-whiz new features in successive versions, at least not on our SE.  
Who knows-- maybe my wife will pursue a PhD and still be eligible for the 
educational version of a great new version of PageMaker in a couple of 
years.  If we can buy that for ~$200 then, we've still spent only $350
for PageMaker.
