I just got a home machine with a 2842 adaptec controller, so I ordered
the FreeBSD 2.0.5 CDs. I've run 386BSD 0.1 and NetBSD 0.9-1.0A on my
work machine. I want to know any tips for porting code and binaries
between NetBSD and FreeBSD. I assume that the binary formats have
diverged so that newer code will fail on the other platform. I have
built a bunch of X clients as well as command line programs such as
Kermit. Thanks!

I don't speak (or work) for the Baltimore County Public Library.
They keep telling me, "Shhhhh!"
