Source Policy change: In the spirit of openness and trust, we have decided to allow source (of this version) to be availble to non registered users. This will allow: 1) Customers to port to various unix platforms before registering 2) Checking for virus'es etc 3) Enhancements and bug fixing by technically inclined customers. Please respect this policy, do not redistribute the source in a modified form: Any enhancements or corrections should be emailed to emagic. When sending corrections greatly prefer entire source files than 'diff' or 'patch' files as merging multiple patches from different sources is a royal pain! Porting EGLE Magic will port to any unix'ish platform on request, the charge for this service is US$2000, access to the platform must be provided. The port remains the property of EGLE magic. For charges of porting to unusual systems please contact us. How to register?
