[Mono-winforms-list] RE: Magic Library PInvokes

[Jonathan S. Chambers]

Here's the link I downloaded from (I don't know if it will work, or how
many times, etc.):

Magic Library 1.7.4
http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?VwSZyoX.TuiQdYajdYGX8A

They've since released commercial versions, but this free source is a
good place to start.

Hello,

Providing emulation for those calls should not be hard, so the library
eventually should run.

The issue is that the "Magic Window Manager" (am not sure what that is)
might not be portable, doing the equivalent on X might require special
code paths.

It might probably be best if we could get the source code to their
library (can not access their site) and add code that detects the
windowing system and does the right thing based on that.
