Hi.  You wrote:

	xmcd does not play or detect audio CDs.

Good point.  xmcd claims to support Irix, but I can't get it to work.
(Apparently, neither can the maintainers of the audio or consult
lockers.  I've never seen any version of xmcd actually work on an
Athena SGI.)

I've removed /mit/sipb/arch/sgi_53/xmcd.  Unless somebody can make
xmcd work on Athena SGIs, I guess you'll have to stick to the
Irix-provided CD players (cdplayer, cdman).

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Sal.
