From file note.10 on gatekeeper.dec.com, ftp dir /pub/DEC/magic/notes:

	[...]
	An earlier release of MAGIC, version 4, has been ported 
	to both the DOS and OS/2 operating systems.  
	The DOS version contains a fully functional editor,
	but is limited in memory size, as well as some other
	functions (no CIF file exchange).
	The OS/2 version is complete and requires 
	2 Megabytes of RAM.  Both versions require EGA 
	or VGA color graphics and a Microsoft-compatible mouse.
	Both versions of the software are being made 
	available in binary form to anyone in the U.S. by
	the MOSIS Users' Group for just a $25 handling fee.  
	To order, contact:
	
	     Bill Bryan, Chairman
	     MUG Steering Committee
	     P. O. Box 22366
	     Knoxville, TN 37933
