Hi,
	I have successfully run the TeX trip test under Xenix. I had 
previously fetched incorrect files from labrea (sighhhhhh). The results
are identical to those produced on our sparcs. Note that both produce
rounding errors - "some of the values may be a little off due to floating
point rounding discrepenacies" - Knuth, "A Torture Test for TeX".
I have a sneaking feeling that this is the IEEE/VAX floating point
differences showing up.
