I have removed the vax and rt versions of the pbm and ppm programs
from the sipb locker. I have not removed the decmips versions because
they are not installed in the graphics locker.
I've replaced the programs that I removed with the shell script
appended to the end of this message (found in
/usr/sipb/vaxbin/no-more-graphics-programs). I'll try to get the
people who maintain the graphics locker to compile for the decmips as
well, and I'll remove the symlinks to the shell script and the shell
script itself about a month after that.

# If the user has /mit/graphics or /afs/athena/contrib/graphics or
# some variant of these in his path, then he is not going to lose when
# the sipb versions of the graphics software disappears, since the
# versions in the graphics locker will get run. Therefore, in that
# case, I just exec the version of the program in the graphics locker
# rather than warning the user.
