Pilot
Planning for Pilot 3.0 has been in progress since the Pilot 2.0 release. "Vork has been
concentrated on microcode swapping for the Debugger and on bootstrapping and starting
Pilot. A decision has been taken to have the debugger operate on Pilot in the Teak release.
The bootstrapping and debugger issue has been forced due to the requirement to be able to .
operate the Teak release wi thout model 31 disks. This has caused a significant perturbation
of our previous plans.
