Ted,
	I spoke to John Ousterhout about when a 2/160 version of Magic
would be available.  He told me that they are working on it, but he had
no idea when it would make its way into the distribution tape.  It seems they
are trying to use the Sun window manager to allow a mixture of Sun and Magic
windows on the screen at the same time, rather than havin Magic manage them
all.
	As far as I know, versions of Caesar and Magic are available to
run on the Sun 2/50 and 2/120 with the color option.  I wouldn't count
on seeing a version of Caesar for the 2/160, however.  Berkeley has shelved
it in lieu of Magic.
	Let me know if you get any other responses about Magic on the 2/160.
I am expecting mine to arrive in about one month and am anxious to see
Magic running on it!  I am also getting a Tektronix 6210 workstation, so if
you hear of anyone attempting a port to it, I'd like to hear about it.
