Disclaimer, I know zilch about VMS or DECNET.

With that out of the way, is it possible to upgrade from VMS 4.4 to VMS
5.1 or higher, without first upgrading to VMS 5.0?  The reason for this
is simple ( and stupid ).  It seems that in the process of relocating
the collection of upgrade tapes from location A to location B, the car
in which they were being carried attempted to occupy the same physical
space as a bus.  Along with the structural realignment of the car, the
box containing the 5.0 tapes was, shall we say, damaged beyond
recognition.  The other tapes are in their original condition.

So, do we need to get replacements for the 5.0 tapes, or can we just
start the upgrade with the 5.1 tapes?

Thanks in advance.
