    Hello tru64'ers,

    when building TRU64 4.0F customer systems, I use a command line command to install all the
    patches in Patch Kit 8.

    # /cdrom/dupatch -install -kit /cdrom -name root -note "install pk8" -proceed -patch all

    Recently, I discovered a patch in PK8 that impairs a system. Removing the patch resolves
    the problem. Instead of running dupatch and traversing through the menus, and removing the
    bad patch, I'd much rather use the CLI to remove the patch. But I'm having problems
    specifying the correct syntax for patch_id so that dupatch removes the correct patch.

    # /cdrom/dupatch -delete -kit /cdrom -name root -note "Remove TULIP patch" -proceed -patch 001348.00

    The Patch number is 1348 && setld reports it as: OSFPAT00134800440. No matter what
    combination I use, dupatch keeps telling me that the specified patch_id is not installed.

    I've tried 001348, 01348.00, 00134.80, etc., but none work. Am I on the right track, or totally off base?

    -Rob
