I've just deleted these from /afs/sipb/project/*bin.
1) I assume you meant /afs/sipb/project/sipb/*bin.
2) WHY did you just delete the "cal" program, rather than replacing it
with a script that prints a warning message to stderr in some cases,
after a discussion on bug-sipb in which the consensus seemed to very
clearly be that a script should be installed to fall back on the
standard cal but print a warning message when it might print results
different from what the user expects?
Your action seems rash, at best, and directly at odds with what people
on bug-sipb seemed to think should happen, at worst.
