magic number n.   [Unix/C; common] 1.

Messaging Application Programming Interface          (MAPI) A messaging architecture and a {client}       interface component for applications such as {electronic       mail}, scheduling, calendaring and document management.   As a       messaging architecture, MAPI provides a consistent interface       for multiple {application programs} to interact with multiple       messaging systems across a variety of {hardware} {platforms}.          MAPI provides better performance and control than {Simple       MAPI}, {Common Messaging Calls} (CMC) or the {Active Messaging       Library}.   It has a comprehensive, open, dual-purpose       interface, integrated with {Microsoft Windows}.   MAPI can be       used by all levels and types of client application and       "service providers" - driver-like components that provide a       MAPI interface to a specific messaging system.   For example, a       {word processor} can send documents and a {workgroup}       application can share and store different types of data using       MAPI.          MAPI separates the programming interfaces used by the client       applications and the service providers.   Every component works       with a common, {Microsoft Windows}-based user interface.   For       example, a single messaging client application can be used to       receive messages from {fax}, a {bulletin board} system, a       host-based messaging system and a {LAN}-based system.       Messages from all of these systems can be delivered to a       single "universal Inbox".          MAPI is aimed at the powerful, new market of workgroup       applications that communicate with such different messaging       systems as fax, {DEC} {All-In-1}, {voice mail} and public       communications services such as {AT&T} Easylink Services,       {CompuServe} and {MCI} MAIL.   Because workgroup applications       demand more of their messaging systems, MAPI offers much more       than basic messaging in the programming interface and supports       more than {local area network} (LAN)-based messaging systems.       Applications can, for example, format text for a single       message with a variety of fonts and present to their users a       customised view of messages that have been filtered, sorted or       preprocessed.          MAPI is built into {Windows 95} and {Windows NT} and can be       used by 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications.   The       programming interface and subsystem contained in the MAPI       {DLL} provide objects which conform to the {Component Object       Model}.   MAPI includes standard messaging client applications       that demonstrate different levels of messaging support.          MAPI provides cross platform support through such industry       standards as {SMTP}, {X.400} and Common Messaging Calls.   MAPI       is the messaging component of {Windows Open Services       Architecture} (WOSA).          [Correct expansion?   Relatonship with Microsoft?]          (1997-12-03)

Magicians       Heb. hartumim, (dan. 1:20) were sacred scribes who acted as       interpreters of omens, or "revealers of secret things."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Music, Instrumental       Among instruments of music used by the Hebrews a principal place       is given to stringed instruments. These were, (1.) The kinnor,       the "harp." (2.) The nebel, "a skin bottle," rendered       "psaltery." (3.) The sabbeka, or "sackbut," a lute or lyre. (4.)       The gittith, occurring in the title of Ps. 8; 8; 84. (5.) Minnim       (Ps. 150:4), rendered "stringed instruments;" in Ps. 45:8, in       the form _minni_, probably the apocopated (i.e., shortened)       plural, rendered, Authorized Version, "whereby," and in the       Revised Version "stringed instruments." (6.) Machalath, in the       titles of Ps. 53 and 88; supposed to be a kind of lute or       guitar.                Of wind instruments mention is made of, (1.) The 'ugab (Gen.       4:21; Job 21:12; 30:31), probably the so-called Pan's pipes or       syrinx. (2.) The qeren or "horn" (Josh. 6:5; 1 Chr. 25:5). (3.)       The shophar, rendered "trumpet" (Josh. 6:4, 6, 8). The word       means "bright," and may have been so called from the clear,       shrill sound it emitted. It was often used (Ex. 19:13; Num.       10:10; Judg. 7:16, 18; 1 Sam. 13:3). (4.) The hatsotserah, or       straight trumpet (Ps. 98:6; Num. 10:1-10). This name is supposed       by some to be an onomatopoetic word, intended to imitate the       pulse-like sound of the trumpet, like the Latin taratantara.       Some have identified it with the modern trombone. (5.) The       halil, i.e, "bored through," a flute or pipe (1 Sam. 10:5; 1       Kings 1:40; Isa. 5:12; Jer. 48:36) which is still used in       Palestine. (6.) The sumponyah, rendered "dulcimer" (Dan. 3:5),       probably a sort of bagpipe. (7.) The maskrokith'a (Dan. 3:5),       rendered "flute," but its precise nature is unknown.                Of instruments of percussion mention is made of, (1.) The       toph, an instrument of the drum kind, rendered "timbrel" (Ex.       15:20; Job 21:12; Ps. 68:25); also "tabret" (Gen. 31:27; Isa.       24:8; 1 Sam. 10:5). (2.) The paamon, the "bells" on the robe of       the high priest (Ex. 28:33; 39:25). (3.) The tseltselim,       "cymbals" (2 Sam. 6:5; Ps. 150:5), which are struck together and       produce a loud, clanging sound. Metsilloth, "bells" on horses       and camels for ornament, and metsiltayim, "cymbals" (1 Chr.       13:8; Ezra 3:10, etc.). These words are all derived from the       same root, tsalal, meaning "to tinkle." (4.) The menaan'im, used       only in 2 Sam. 6:5, rendered "cornets" (R.V., "castanets"); in       the Vulgate, "sistra," an instrument of agitation. (5.) The       shalishim, mentioned only in 1 Sam. 18:6, rendered "instruments       of music" (marg. of R.V., "triangles or three-stringed       instruments").                The words in Eccl. 2:8, "musical instruments, and that of all       sorts," Authorized Version, are in the Revised Version       "concubines very many."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Musician, Chief       (Heb. menatstseah), the precentor of the Levitical choir or       orchestra in the temple, mentioned in the titles of fifty-five       psalms, and in Hab. 3:19, Revised Version. The first who held       this office was Jeduthun (1 Chr. 16:41), and the office appears       to have been hereditary. Heman and Asaph were his two colleagues       (2 Chr. 35:15).
