FYI, the xdvi in the sipb locker is newer than the Athena one and
supports the display of EPS files. This is a feature I'm sure more than
one user depends on. (We're at pl18 and Athena is at pl17, I believe.)

Joanna has installed xmcd in the audio locker for linux, netbsd and solaris.
I tend to use that one since it works. I think the audio locker is
the "right" place for it to go. The one in the SIPB locker never really
worked anyway, AFAIK.
