OK, today I INSTALLED V5.0 on a RD53 system disk and before doing anything
else, there were 61800 free blocks remaining.  5.0 has a utility called
VMSTAILOR that runs through the various optional parts of VMS and lets you
select the ones you'd like to remove.

The release notes pertaining to system disks say the following:  RC25 and
RK07 and not supported FOR THE UPGRADE PROCEDURE, but you can still INSTALL
5.0 on these disks.  For RD52 system disks, the upgrade procedure doesn't
restore certain files (full library and optional files), but after upgrading,
you can move the files you need onto the disk.
