Hi Steve,
any scripts that don't use the showme command to load any docs should now
be switched to do so (I'm probably responsible for most of these which
actually pre-date showme, pongowww and pisawww are another two I recall).
Personally I'd like to see showme enhanced to work with Galeon, FireBird
and Konqueror (and maybe even Opera), but a lot of these need
investigation to see how they can be remote controlled, so that's some
work... We also need to dump Mosaic after all these years.

That need a minor fix to the "demodata.tar" file in GAIA. I've copied a
new version down to RAL:
~pwd/release/demodata.tar
just use this to replace any existing versions (./mk deinstall;
cp ~pwd/release/demodata.tar .; ./mk install, should do it). GAIA doesn't
use tclsys so doesn't suffer from the other issues reported.
Cheers,
Peter.
