With the demise of the HPE hobbyist program, it seems like
availability of the VAX kits are similarly limited?  My copy
of VAXVMS073.ZIP seems to be corrupted:

Archive:  VAXVMS073.ZIP
This is the OpenVMS VAX
V7.3 operating system CD-ROM.
This is the FIRST disk of the OpenVMS VAX CD-ROM kit.

This kit specifically contains a zip of a BACKUP/IMAGE of the
installation CD-ROM medium.  To (correctly) decompress, use a
version of unzip that preserves the OpenVMS file attributes, or
use a tool that will restore the BACKUP saveset attributes.
To install this kit, unzip it, BACKUP/IMAGE to restore it to a
scratch disk, then install or upgrade OpenVMS using the standard
procedures for CD-ROM distribution kits.
warning [VAXVMS073.ZIP]:  909878 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile

file #1:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  909878

Am I just holding it wrong?  Thanks!
