VMS 6.1 Binaries Download

Apologies if this has been asked before.

Does any one know where I can download VMS 6.1 VAX binaries CD?

We are trying to upgrade from 5.5-2H4 --> 7.3

Documentation suggest the following upgrade path;

5.52H4 --> 6.1 --> 7.3

Have 7.3 but are missing the bit in the middle.

TIA

As far as I know there is not a place you can download - you have to borrow them.

Note
I seem to remember having to install a patch in the middle of such an upgrade

Thanks.

I had read that you had to apply the patch.

Any ideas where we could borrow them from?

Over the internet via FTP would be a great way to share them ;-)

Yeah, we did have them.

All we want is an ISO / Binaries of 6.1 so we can upgrade to 7.3 from 5.52H4.

This is mearly a stepping stone!

We only need it for a couple of hours!

$460.00 seems a lot!!!!

Can no one host the CD on an FTP site for a short period?

Maximum points will be given to the hoster ;-)
