I've been playing with magic 7.2 lately and wanted to pass along a couple of
observations to anyone else who is doing the same:

1-BLT is needed for some of the new GUI features.  BLT2.4u is available from a
number of sources (rpmfind.net or through www.tcl.tk) and will NOT work. 
BLT2.4z from sourceforge works fine.

2-The techbuilder.tcl script has an incomplete comment line near the end of the
script.  The line looks like "/* TODO ...", but doesn't have a closing "*/". 
This causes an error and prevents the tabbed techbuilder window from appearing.
 Deleting the comment line allows the script to run.

3-The new GUI is a major step forward for magic.  The code is rightly classified
as ALPHA, but shows great potential.  Tim and company have done a great job.
