If you don't even know your operating system you are in deep doo doo.
Installing Magic is fairly complicated even for someone with an in depth
knowledge of the operating system.

However, if you are determined to start, mail a request to
mosis@mosis.edu and ask for a copy of magic. Then get ready for weeks of
work.

Because Sunwindows is optimized and X is not, X windows will slow
everything down by a factor of 10. We thought that X was not worth the
trouble and still use the Sunwindows version.
