The latest version is actually 6.0.0.19; Nathan didn't update his site to reflect that. There wasn't a changelog so I don't know what the differences are. ES has copy protection so buying a "used" copy won't help you unless you can register it with Nathan. As plainolebill posted, he kept supporting EquiSim long after health concerns and a certain lack of interest kept him from developing it further. There was a thread about ES here several months ago and I am pretty sure he sold a few more copies. He probably decided then that supporting it was getting to be too much of a hassle.
ES was a fine program, and Nathan was a really helpful developer and all around good guy from what little I know of him. I was sad to see that v6 would be the last version, but I wish him all the best.
