  DECnet Phase IV vs DECnet-Plus on V7.1? 
 The Question is:
 
Can Decnet phase 4 still be installed on VMS 7.1 on an alpha?
 
If so what needs to be done?
 
The alpha is a new 4100 and has a FIS DECNet plus installation on it. DO I
need to get rid of this first?
 
 The Answer is:
 
  DECnet Phase IV can be installed on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1.
 
  You will need to boot the system from the distribution CD-ROM, and
  then issue a PRODUCT RECONFIGURE OPENVMS (to remove a dependency on
  DECnet-Plus by OpenVMS) and then a PRODUCT REMOVE of the existing
  DECnet-Plus, if you wish to revert to DECnet Phase IV.
 
  As a general recommendation, the Wizard strongly recommends reading
  the installation and upgrade manual, the new features manual, and the
  release notes manual.
