I think I would start afresh and create a VMS 4.4 system for the 8300.  The
loacal tailoring then would be done and the VMS 4.3 specific files moved in from
the backup tapes of the vms 4.3 system.  May potentially more work but will
result in better system in the end.  Less AssUmptions as to what will not be
affected by the switch.  It is also good to every once in a while start over
on the system disk.  I found when I put up VMS 4 from scratch that still had
remnents of VMS 1 that had not been deleted by the previous upgrades but were
still hanging around taking up disk space but not used or needed.

The other approach might work but this one definitely will work.
