                 The ultimate Multi-Function-Commodity
------------------------------------------------------------------------


MultiCX  is the smallest Multi-Function-Commodity for the Amiga, thought
as  a  replacement  for  many  larger  and  sometimes  badly  programmed
programs.  It is a 100% pure commodity, which means that it does not use
interrupts and no special input handlers. Some Patches (SetFunction) are
installed in a very clean  way, so that they do not interfere with other
programs which use the same vectors.
As a result MultiCX can safely be disabled or removed at any time.

If you need a clean Commodity without bad hacks there's no alternative !
