Xinfo is no longer available
For a long time, the xinfo information and map have been inaccurate and
difficult to maintain. A current and supported campus map is now
available via the web at the URL http://web.mit.edu/map.html. A web
browser or window in your current browser will soon appear with this

This will be the last time you see this message. Invoking xinfo will
continue to display the MIT map, but we urge you to view the URL
directly.

In fact, I don't get xinfo, but the campus map starting up in
Netscape.
I think either the message should be updated and displayed on all
platforms, or xinfo should just be removed from the release
altogether.
