As of the 6.3 release of IRIX, the demos directory structure
(/usr/demos) was changed to accommodate a more modular, easy
to use format. Some previous supplemental demo software
products assume that directories such as /usr/demos/bin and
/usr/demos/data exist. It is expected that all future
versions of demos support the new format, but in the interim
you will need to override the associated conflict (this
option is available with inst or Software Manager) if you
attempt to install these previous demos on IRIX 6.3 or later
versions of IRIX.

Demos can be accessed from several mechanisms:
+o From a web-based interface, which can be started using
the toolchest Find; Demos menu option
+o From the system iconcatalog, which can be started using
the toolchest Find; Iconcatalog; Demos
+o From buttonfly (/usr/demos/buttonfly)
+o Directly from the directory /usr/demos/General_Demos
_N_O_T_E: The web-based interface utilizes the default web
server which is installed on each system. If you wish to
access the demos from the web-based interface, but using a
server other than webserver.sw, (/var/www) you will need to
address the following issues:
