Body:
A interim workaround is to define the MAGIC_HOME environment valiable to point to a
different directory. This will eliminate the reference to ".magic".

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TOOLS-3
Summary: Magic eliminates unix file command
Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Critical
Resolution: WON'T FIX
Project: Metro Tools
Components:
MAGIC

Environment: Unix, Cygwin
Description:
Magic creates a .magic directory in the home directory of an user. Unfortunately this
breaks the unix file command. As long as this directory exists "file" cannot find its
magic files and is no longer able to determin the type of arbitrary files for that
particular user. Renaming or removing the .magic directory makes file work again:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehni $ file relnote.pdf
file: could not find any magic files!
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehni $ mv .magic .magic-apache
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehni $ file relnote.pdf
relnote.pdf: PDF document, version 1.3
Please rename this default directory!
