Abstract: The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey is a high-frequency, fast-sampled survey of the Galactic Plane, expected to discover at least 500 new pulsars. To date, over 200 pulsars have been found, including several young pulsars and at least one with a very high magnetic field. Seven of the new stars are in binary systems; this number includes one probable double-neutron-star system, and one pulsar with an extremely massive companion.<br />Comment: 6 pages. Talk given at "Gravitational Waves and Experimental Gravity," XXXIV Rencontres de Moriond, January 23-30, 1999
