sorry about that. my news feeder was hanging and
i dont know how to cancel articles. while i'm
apologizing, i'll sneak in some more info.

I hope to do much more TeX work in 92, in drivers, in TNT, and in METAFONT.
For the record: the only differences in the trip logs are in
STATing memory usage. Common TeX memory management is
good enough now (it does use the common C style of
memory mallocing) and will be greatly enhanced in the
next release. In an effort to simplify the program,
all STAT and DEBUG and INIT were removed.
Some STAT things need to be reactivated. There will
be new DEBUG items when the new structures are refined.
The tripin.log diffs are nontrivial due to a bug in TeX.
I will compile an actually helpful README file
over the next few weeks. Let me know what people should
be informed of. For example, a question i have is 
How do most people install it (as ctex, commontex, ...) ?
