That seems an explanation for your use of the word "magic" that I can
relate to, though I don't think it precludes general use by "most
folks". They have little interest in such "technical" matters, but
just want to install the program (any program - MS Office, Photoshop,
Thunderbird, and so on...). A simple installer is provided for those
folks.
Cheers,
Marc
