The project is going well.  We have most of the Section 2 calls working
without glitches (no networking yet).  We are working on improving the
Section 3 calls.

Most of the critical utilities such as ls, du, rm, etc. are working just
fine.  Some of the bigger programs are not up to speed yet.

The goal is to be able to build the PCBSD code on OS/2 using the NetBSD
tools by January.  I.e. we want to be able to take the source tree with
PCBSD modifications and compile it with the original NetBSD scripts and
commands using the shell.

Once that is accomplished, we are going to place the Beta on some FTP
site.
