[Simh] Trying to install openvms 7.3 over a Beta install of openvms k7.2

[James W. Laferriere]

 	Hello All ,  Some many years ago I was involved with the Beta testing of 
OpenVMS 7.2 called K7.2 .  VMSInstal does not recognize the K in the version 
number and stops the upgrade with version NOT acceptable message .

 	What I geuess I'd like to do is LIE to the VMSInstal procedure by 
removing the K from the reported version report .

 	Anyone ever had a chance to do this ?

 	I Very vaugely remember a document that came with the Field Test kit 
that gave me a hint that it was possible to "Upgrade" from the K7.2 to the 
production version of 7.2 after the field testing was completed .
 	And of course that document is either extrememly buried or gone .
