  10.                  The ultimate Multi-Function-Commodity
  11. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  13.  
  14. MultiCX  is the smallest Multi-Function-Commodity for the Amiga, thought
  15. as  a  replacement  for  many  larger  and  sometimes  badly  programmed
  16. programs.  It is a 100% pure commodity, which means that it does not use
  17. interrupts and no special input handlers. Some Patches (SetFunction) are
  18. installed in a very clean  way, so that they do not interfere with other
  19. programs which use the same vectors.
  20. As a result MultiCX can safely be disabled or removed at any time.
  21.  
  22. If you need a clean Commodity without bad hacks there's no alternative !
