RE: placing launched MAGIC 7.1 & app dissappears


Ed,

Because Magic 7.1 only works when you have Windows in 8 bit color mode, or
if you run in fullscreen mode at 8 bits per pixel, or if you tell Magic that
you want it to use OpenGL for graphics.

You can start Cygwin/XFree86 in fullscreen mode at 8 bits per pixel like so:

XWin -fullscreen -depth 8
