/* Written by R. Timothy Edwards for MultiGiG, Inc., July 2004 */
/* This file mainly lifted from the main application routine for */
/* "wish" from the Tk distribution. */
/* */
/* This is a compact re-write of the "wish" executable that calls */
/* Tk_MainEx with application-specific processing. Specifically, */
/* "wish" doesn't allow the startup script (~/.wishrc) to be renamed. */
/* However, for magic running as an extension of Tcl, we want to source */
/* the magic.tcl file instead of ~/.wishrc. So, all this file really */
/* does is to set the Tcl variable "tcl_rcFileName" to magic.tcl, so */
/* that it will be processed as the startup script, followed by a drop */
/* back to the Tcl interpreter command-line main loop. */
/* */
/* This is a standalone executable. However, it is only called when */
/* "-noconsole" is specified on the UNIX command-line. When the */
/* console is used, the console is capable of sourcing the magic.tcl */
/* script itself, and so it uses "wish" as the executable. However, */
/* the console redirects standard input, so it prevents magic from */
/* being used in a batch processing mode. Thus, to batch-process with */
/* magic, use "magic -noc -d NULL < script.tcl" or, interactively, */
/* "magic -noc -d NULL << EOF" followed by commands entered from stdin */
/* and ending with "EOF". */
/* */
/* The "magicexec" method replaces the former use of "wish" with the */
/* "magic" script setting HOME to point to the directory containing */
/* ".wishrc", a symbolic link to "magic.tcl". That failed to work on */
/* remote systems because the $HOME environment variable is also used */
/* to find the user's .Xauthority file to authenticate the X11 */
/* connection. */
