Will the MicroVAX I even support 7.3? But from the September 1993
Master Index

Product Name                          Vers
UPI             CD          Directory
VMS Workstation Software        4.5                  A96JA
10           [VWS045]

But since VWS is not on the "hobbyiest" list can he use it??
Your best bet would be to get 5.X.
