Yeah, and it would be greater if it supported any platform even
remotely close to ours. :-(

I've known about Purify since I was one of its earliest BETA testers,
back when the company had 3 people working for it. :) For most of its
lifecycle it has supported only RISC load/store architectures due to
the way it does instruction replacement.  I see now that they have an
NT version, but still no SCO or Solaris x86 or (to say the least)
BSD/OS versions of the product.

Maybe now that they've merged with Atria this focus will change, but
until/unless that happens, Purify will remain merely a pipe dream for
FreeBSD users.
