[tex-live] TeXlive 2003 TRIP certification

Since I have a fair number of architectures at hand, two days ago,
I ran the trip test with initex from the TeXlive 9/2003 CD release.

Of the ten systems tested, all passed the trip test, and the log files
disagree only in the "This is TeXk..." greeting timestamp, and on some
systems, in the filesystem path to cp8bit.tcx.

Here are typical differences reported by Unix diff:

	1c1
	< This is TeXk, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.2) (INITEX)  16 MAR 2004 08:32
	---
	> This is TeXk, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.2) (INITEX)  16 MAR 2004 10:11
	3c3
	<  (/a/suncore1/export/home/0072/texlive-2003-9/texmf/web2c/cp8bit.tcx)
	---
	>  (/.amd/suncore2/export/home/0072/texlive-2003-9/texmf/web2c/cp8bit.tcx)

I'm unclear from the postings on this topic whether Petr Olsak is
referring to the binaries on the CD, or newly-built ones from the
current TeXLive source tree, or newly-built ones from the source tree
on the 9/2003 CD.
