Hi,
 
I installled Magic on my PC using the follow method:
 
 Magic Quick Install (standard version): 
(You can try this if the Tcl-based version is not working.) 

1.	Download magic_win.zip
<http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/%7Etim/programs/magic/windows/archive/magic_win.zip
>  here. Unzip it in the Windows root directory containing Cygwin (by
default, C:). 
2.	From this zip file, executables will appear in /usr/local/bin
relative to the Cygwin root directory ("/" in the Cygwin terminal,
C:\cygwin\ in Windows, by default). The magic run-time files (tech files,
etc.) are in /usr/local/lib/magic/. 
3.	Start the Cygwin X server by bringing up a Cygwin terminal, and
typing "XWin_GL -multiwindow". This window will grab all sorts of debugging
output, so it's best to iconify this window. 
4.	Run magic by bringing up a new Cygwin terminal. Type "export
DISPLAY=:0" then "magic" or "magic -d OGL". 

as described on
http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/windows/windows.html
 
After a little tinkering, I was able to get magic to launch. 
 
1. But when it launches, all i can see is the background. Where are the
toolbars etc? There's nothing to allow me to me view any options or bring up
the pallette, etc. I can zoom in and out etc in the main window.
 
2. Also, there is no console. Where can I type the commands?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
