Directories
/LocalApps
Applications in directory /LocalApps make use of the NextStep
/PublicApps graphical interface. These can be invoked simply by clicking their icons. Help is generally available via the application's menu.
/usr/local/bin
Programs in directory /usr/local/bin 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/local/bin/p2c. Help for these programs, if not provided by prompting, is usually in the Unix man pages, for example, enter the command "man p2c". From NeXT Librarian, select "Unix Manual Pages" and enter the program name.
/usr/local/src
May contain source. Then again it may not.
