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?
