  An effective two-body interaction is constructed from a new Reid-like $NN$
potential for a large no-core space consisting of six major shells and is used
to generate the shell-model properties for light nuclei from $A$=2 to 6. (For
practical reasons, the model space is partially truncated for $A$=6.) Binding
energies and other physical observables are calculated and compare favorably
with experiment.
