Our "Proof-of-Principle" prototype of the RFD linac structure is fully assembled, tuned and under vacuum,
awaiting the delivery of the rf power system, which is now 15 months late and scheduled for delivery at the
end of this conference (September, 1998). Hence we have no linac beam or full power performance to report.
Nevertheless, we have some ion source beam, prototype assembly, and low-power linac performance to report.
