Research Engineering Development is looking for a contractor to assist a
company with a migration of their FreeBSD based OS to a more recent FreeBSD

- billing and payment to the contractor.

Contractor will handle:

We are looking to start in January but may wait until February for a

amounts of code via contractor into FreeBSD based on this prior arraignment.

FreeBSD.
