intro(6)

NAME
     intro - introduction to games and demos

DESCRIPTION
     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.

BUGS
     The following error message (or something similiar) may appear when
     exiting out of the demos improperly:

     "localhost:0.0" after 44 requests (44 known processed) with 0 events
     remaining.

     Ignore this error message.  The system has not been affected in any way.

     The proper way to exit out of demos is by :
