System: NetBSD amethyst.netherstone.net 4.0_BETA2 NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Mar 2 11:45:20 EST 2007 giles@citrine.netherstone.net:/Users/giles/projects/netbsd-4/tmp/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
file(1) is rather confused:

$ /usr/bin/file /usr/bin/vi
/usr/bin/vi: X11/NeWS bitmap font, for NetBSD 4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

$ /usr/bin/ldd /usr/bin/vi
/usr/bin/vi:
	-lcurses.6 => /usr/lib/libcurses.so.6
	-lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12

So ... file(1) knows that 4.0 executables are NetBSD 4.0 *something*,
but a font with shared libraries is new to me.
