You should really read the trip manual (tripman.tex), but here's a short
course on how to run the trip test.  NB You will get LOTS of error
messages!

First, make triptex.  Move triptex to this directory, and copy (not move)
tex.pool here as well.  Remember that if you build a gargantuan TeX,
it'll be called TEX.POOL instead.

Step 1.  Run

	triptex
	**trip

The trip.log file you get should be essentially identical to the file
tripin.log, which is a copy of that supplied by Knuth.

Step 2.  Run

	triptex
	** &trip  trip

(the spacing is important---there are two spaces between the "trip"'s).
The trip.log file should be identical to either big_trip.log or
small_trip.log.  Big_trip.log was produced with the BIGTEX.PATCH applied,
and changing the type glueratio from float to double (in "site.h").
Small_trip.log was produced using the unmodified ctex.ch and site.h
files.  Both were produced on a 32-bit Sun workstation.  For reference,
trip.log.knuth is the output Knuth obtained on a 36-bit machine with
36-bit floats (in Pascal).  It will give you an idea of what kind of
differences are "legal".  Glue ratios are the only thing TeX does
with floating point arithmetic, so they are the only calculations whose
outcomes may vary from machine to machine; usually, this variance is
only in the last decimal place or two.

The output on your terminal when running the second phase of the test
should match trip.fot.

Step 3.  Make texware/dvitype.  Run

	dvitype trip.dvi

This will prompt you for a number of inputs.  Here is how it should
look, with some comments in []'s:

Output level (default=3, ? for help): 2
Starting page (default=*): *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*		[ten asterisks]
Maximum number of pages (default=1000000): 		[type RETURN]
Assumed device resolution in pixels per inch (default=300/1): 7227/100
New magnification (default=0 to keep the old one): 	[type RETURN]

Dvitype will produce a file "dvitype.out", which should be identical
to either big_trip.typ or small_trip.typ, which were produced under
the same conditions as big_trip.log and small_trip.log.

For reference, "trip.typ" is the equivalent file produced by Knuth
on a 36-bit machine.  For an explanation of how different your file
can be from trip.typ, see the trip test manual (tripman.tex).
