Tomcat Bob ??? Are you confusing it with Apache ?

Why would people spend money buying Purveyor when Apache is available ?

How much effort would be involved in bringing Purveyor up to modern
standards ?

What is the possible business case for either Process or VSI to spend
money and time on modernising Purveyor when everyone knows Apache and
Apache is freely available for VMS ?

And what exactly is the problem with software ported from Unix anyway ?
A lot of code that VSI are using on x86-64 VMS elsewhere came from there
(for example LLVM/clang/etc).
