I don't believe you can run 7.3 on less than VMS 7, unless things have changed radically in the last few months. I knew a number of installations were upset about this (especially having to do multiple radical concurrent upgrades), so things may have changed... but...

With the Compaq thing and all, I would expect anyone not on the latest of everything to be TSOL.
