- Short: Multi Function Commodity

- MultiCX 1.60 (19.3.95)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 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
- any patches (SetFunction), no interrupts and no special input handlers.
- So it can safely be disabled or removed at any time.
