Short: Multi Function Commodity
Author: m_berndt@wanderer.gun.de (Martin Berndt)
Uploader: scholly@wanderer.gun.de
Type: util/cdity
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MultiCX 2.0ß (10.7.95)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 !
