Perhaps one just doesn't try to do that.  As Steve has perhaps mentioned once, 
or twice, or a million times, holding onto the past too hard can really screw up 
the future.

If VSI comes up with some better stuff, I for one don't have a problem with a 
fresh install.  Come to think about it, every x86 VMS system will require a 
fresh install.
