NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     intro - introduction to games and demos

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The manual	pages with the section 6 suffix	are for	recreational and
     educational programs normally found in the	directory /usr/games; however,
     Silicon Graphics currently	does not ship any such programs, so this
     directory does not	exist.

     The manual	pages with the suffix 6D are the demonstration programs	found
     in	the directory /usr/demos/General_Demos,	/usr/demos/O2 or
     /usr/demos/OCTANE Beginning with the 6.3 release of IRIX, these demos can
     be	accessed from several mechanisms:

     -	from a web-based interface, which can be started using the toolchest
     Find; Demos menu option

     -	from the system	iconcatalog, which can be started using	the toolchest
     Find; Iconcatalog;	Demos

     - from buttonfly (/usr/demos/buttonfly)

     - and directly from the directories /usr/demos/General_Demos,
     /usr/demos/O2 and /usr/demos/OCTANE

     Both buttonfly and	the directory noted above can be accessed using	the
     Find; File	QuickFind menu option or Selected; File	QuickFind menu option
     available from the	system toolchest

     The availability of these programs	and the	data they use will vary	from
     system to system and from release to release.
