Introduction
------------

MultiUser allows you to create a *IX-like environment where several users live
together  in harmony, unable to delete each others files, unable to read those
private  love-letters  of  other  users.   And  this even if several users are
working on the machine at the same time (on a terminal hooked up to the serial
port)

People without a valid login ID and password won't be able to access files you
have made private with MultiUser.  If you make all files private (not readable
for others), the only useful thing they could do, is boot from a floppy.


Contents
--------

This archive contains the Application Programmers Interface (Include files,
autodoc, etc...).


Distribution
------------

MultiUser Release 1.8 is distributed in 3 archives:

   MultiUser18_bin.lha:   Basic MultiUser package (you really need this!)
   MultiUser18_api.lha:   Include files, autodoc, etc...
   MultiUser18_src.lha:   Source for the library and support commands

There  is  no  new  distribution of the external utilities; use the archive
from the 1.7 release: MultiUser17_ext.lha

For  more information about MultiUser (disclaimer, distributability, usage,
etc...),  read  the  documentation  file  'MultiUser.doc'  in  the  archive
'MultiUser18_bin.lha'.


Additional Note
---------------

Release 1.8 was compiled by Norbert Püschel with permission from Geert
Uytterhoven. (Geert is busy working on release 2.0. :-) )
