"This article describes the features of the free software MagicPoint. It is one
among the very few free presentation software for X-Window. The presentation
is described by a simple but powerful language."
"Presentation software became popular a few years ago and have now been
integrated into the office sotfware packages by default. Before that, in order to
make a presentation using a free system, the old method of the retroprojection
with the slides (using latex Slitex ) was used."
"But with the retroprojection of the computer's screen, the presentation take
another dimension and make the presentation look better. Magic Point is a presentation software working with
every X11/Unix system."
"It comes from the BSD world and is developped by a japanese team. Writing a Magicpoint presentation is made
through a text file. We will study its syntax later on."
