(Ironically, before the freeware stuff became so well-structured, you could usually rely on finding it under /usr/local on the BSD-related systems - there's a few vendors who insist on using that for third-party vendor stuff and moving the freeware to another location, which differs from one platform to another). -- Thomas E.
