I'm still not stucying magic yet for lack of a paying application for it and having a likely paying application for pcb coming soon, and have been working with Steve Meier adding some scripting features to pcb that this reminds me of. We used a socket listener in the block of c code that handles commands coming from a GUI to allow the same commands to be triggered by the socket listener. It lends itself to making scripts in whatever script language the user likes and sending them to the socket to be acted on immediately. Does tcl have a simple way to do something like this? Also, some have said that magic can be used to do boards, but could magic have convenient board making features added? It seems a lot of work to make new shapes like lines with a width and circular ends... but since you have just added arbitrary angles to draw polygons...? Sorry if these comments come from lack of magic user experience and are abstract...I've not gotten into much c coding yet. John Griessen
