The great thing about Magellan is that you can install the standard version
and it works very well straight off. Once you're happy with that you can
start a fiddling and find all manner of wonderous stuff, just have a play,
that's one of the reasons why I enjoy using an Amiga rather than PC.

There has been a multipart one for the first version (I think) of Magellan
in AF, and AA did a 2 (?) part tutorial, ending I believe with issue 7, the
one with Buzz Lightyear on it... (?)
