NAME
     ggz - The GZ Gaming Zone

DESCRIPTION
     The GZ Gaming Zone is a standards-conforming online  gaming
     infrastructure which provides many applications and games to
     people who like to play on the internet  or  in  local  net-
     works.

APLICATIONS
     There isn't a single executable named ggz, instead a  multi-
     tude  of  programs  is  available to the user, and even more
     which operate on the system level or are used by  developers
     and  administrators.  Users will most likely want to connect
     to   a   GZ   server   on    the    internet,    such    as
     ggz:/live.ggzgamingzone.org,  to  play  games against other
     people.  Core clients are used to perform this task.

GAMES
     Games  are  usually  launched  by  the  GZ   server,   with
     corresponding  game  clients  running on the user's desktop.
     Plenty of games are available for GZ, most of  them  coming
     from  the  GZ  project  itself but several independent game
     projects do now provide GZ support.

     While some GZ game clients are  suited  for  online  gaming
     only,  others  also  run locally like normal games happen to
     do. Those will be found in the desktop's application menu.

FILES
     /usr/bin
          GZ applications, tools, and the  games  which  provide
          single player mode.

     /usr/lib(d)
          GZ game client and server libraries.

     /usr/share/ggz(d)
          Data files for game clients and servers.
