Update 16 August 1994 by ccpaulh@monad.missouri.edu. Subject to change!
/PublicAppsDirectory /PublicApps is a general collection of NeXT programs that are not associated with a particular file extension (as for example, Mathematica is associated with .ma extension). It contains some programs, and links to directories such as /usr/games containing programs.
Some games in /PublicApps require that the right mouse button be enabled!
/usr/gamesPrograms in directory /usr/games generally do not use the NextStep graphical interface, although they may use Unix "curses" to display full-screen text. Invoke these programs by starting a Shell window (from Workspace select Tools, New Shell, or use Terminal or Stuart), and then entering the program name or complete search path, for example: /usr/games/anagram. Help for these games, if not provided by prompting, is usually in the Unix man pages, for example, via the command "man anagram". From NeXT Librarian, select "Unix Manual Pages" and enter the program name.
Games have been segregated to this one directory so that if necessary they can all be easily controlled. For example, to suppress access to the games while a class is using a NeXT site, the superuser could issue the command ªchmod o-rx /usr/gamesº, restoring access with ªchmod o+rx /usr/gamesº.
/NextDeveloper/DemosNeXT provided these.
NOTE:Respect the priority of work over games and any other non-acdemic activities! Never play games or indulge in other non-academic activities when all workstations are in use or if the system is particularly busy. Users who persist in violating this rule will be denied access to these resources.

Il faut noter, que les jeux d'enfants ne sont pas jeux: et les faut juger en eux, comme leurs plus seÂrieuses actions.
It should be noted that children at play are not playing about; their games should be seen as their most serious-minded activity.
