I was referring to the OP's "Is there a ... free alternative emulator ...?"

Frankly I don't think I have seen any resistance to OCO in twenty years,
other than on this list. Many, many customers nowadays would not know what
to do with a piece of assembler source if you gave it to them. Customers are
pressing to have exits go away. In other words, they *want* local
customization to be parameters plus object code, not source code.

There's room for both open source and proprietary software. My preference is
for well maintained software to which I can easily make local changes. If I
have to pay a reasonable license fee and can only provide my changes to
people who are licensed, that's fine. 

Are you actually seeing resistance to priced software, or only to OCO
software?
