       2.2  Demos_Subsystem_Disk_Space_Requirements

       If you are installing this software for the first time, the
       subsystems marked ``default'' are the ones that are
       installed if you use the ``go'' menu item.  To install a
       different set of subsystems, use the ``install,''
       ``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step'' commands in inst to
       customize the list of subsystems to be installed, then
       select the ``go'' menu item.

       Note:  The sizes of the demos vary from platform to
              platform, because different demos are loaded on
              different graphics platforms; the sizes are not
              listed here.  Refer to the IRIS Software Installation
              Guide for information on finding exact sizes.
