[Magic-dev] Magic 7.1 for Windows on Cygwin - no toolbars

[Piyush Sood]

Hi,

Since I was unable to install the TCL version correctly at first, I
had to resort to installing this version. But then I went back and
managed to install the TCl version correctly. I am able to launch
magic properly now and see all the toolbars etc (I understand that the
toolbars are only available as a convenience in the TCL version, all
the commands still exist in the other version).

There are still some compatibility issues in working on the windows
version and using those layouts on the solaris version and vice versa,
but I think I've figured out a workaround.

Thank you to everyone for your replies.

-Piyush.

the command should be usually typed in the main window of magic and
should appear in the terminal window from which the magic is started.
To start magic with a toolbar you should write 
magic -w -d OGL 
this however works only with the Tcl version of Magic
