   As you have been told multiple times, the option you propose already   
   exists in the form of Sector7 and has for _many_ years. They are very   
   well known within the VMS world, and yet many people still want the   
   genuine VMS product.   
      
   Please remember this before you raise this bogus subject yet again.
