.SH NAME
xmagic \- X Windows based front end to MaGIC
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.B xmagic
.RI [ " options " ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.BR  xmagic ,
is a simple X Windows based front end to John Slaney's MaGIC. 
.SH OPTIONS
.LP
Since 
.B  xmagic 
has been developed with Athena Widgets all standard toolkit options are 
recognized. In particular:
.TP  30
.BI \-display " display"
specifies the name of the X server to use
.TP 
.BI \-geometry " geometry"
specifies the initial size and location of the window
.TP
.BI \-# " number"
specifies the number of processes which MaGIC is to fork while running in the
parallel mode. This option is passed directly to MaGIC. Note, that since there
is now an easy way of changing number of processes from within xmagic during
the session this option is no longer essential.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.LP
.B xmagic
recognizes all X11 toolkit environment variables, in particular
.SB DISPLAY
which should be set up to point to the display used by 
.B xmagic 
on the
remote systems. Using the
.BI \-display " display"
options is equivalent to using the 
.SB DISPLAY
environmental variable.

.SH BUGS
.LP
The main text widget scrolls very slowly. Communication with magic is still
based on pipes and rsh (in case of remote hosts) rather than on rexec and
sockets. Xmagic will not catch signals and may not disconnect magic
cleanly if killed.
