  9.                  The ultimate Multi-Function-Commodity
  10. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  11.  
  12. MultiCX  is the smallest Multi-Function-Commodity for the Amiga, thought
  13. as  a  replacement  for  many  larger  and  sometimes  badly  programmed
  14. programs.  It is a 100% pure commodity, which means that it does not use
  15. interrupts and no special input handlers. Some Patches (SetFunction) are
  16. installed in a very clean  way, so that they do not interfere with other
  17. programs which use the same vectors.
  18. As a result MultiCX can safely be disabled or removed at any time.
  19.  
  20. If you need a clean Commodity without bad hacks there's no alternative !
