 I downloaded magic-7.2.38, expanded it to my default /home/cad and compiled
it with the normal commands:

     make config (selected tcl and X11)
     make tcl
     make install-tcl

 The invocation 'magic -w' works fine. I can load a cell that I have
previously created and do a 'lef writeall' and the output looks like I would
expect an LEF file to look like. My experience with Cadence is somewhat
limited so I dont know all the nuances.

 I would say that 7.2.38 is good progress and I want to keep the
encouragement up.

 I do have one observation, and it isnt a criticism, just an observation.

 For the past several revision, whenever I start 'magic -w' I get a toolbar
set on the right of my screen that is nine or ten boxes wide. This ends up
using up too much screen real estate. Near as I can tell what is happening,
the horizontal width of the maketoolbar call is calculated before the top
window width is known. My work around has been to comment out the
 maketoolbar call in wrapper.tcl about line 856 and invoke
'magic::maketoolbar .layout1' after magic has initialized. When I do that,
the toolbar is only two boxes wide and I gain back quite a bit of screen
width. Anyway, just an observation, please keep up the good work.
