There also is a VMS port of ht://Dig 3.1.6 (by yours truly) which I
know is run by some DEC^3^HCompaq^6^HHP Customer Support Center to
index the VMS documentation and source listings. The overall feedback
I got was very positive, although some SWISH-E fan critizised the
slowness of indexing - well, ht://Dig offers a lot more than SWISH, or
does it?

It works perfectly under the Apache port, and (using GET queries [1])
with
Purveyor (an old but rock-solid commercial web server).
