  Documentation
  -------------
    MControl was developed to be a modern control panel for the Milan II
    computer, taking design cues from other operating systems. However,
    MControl was never designed to be a hypertext viewer or CPX server.
    Instead, it's a launcher for various file types. You can launch 
    applications, accessories and documents (via their associated
    applications).

    Every Milan II would be shipped with bundled software. Most of these
    applications were already available and would receive a "lite" or 
    "home" version for the Milan bundle. MagiC was supposed to be the 
    new Milan's operating system as opposed to MiNT/M.AES for the Milan I.

    Various new projects were planned or in development for the Milan II.
    When the Milan II project died, MControl already received a few 
    beta versions. The application was finally released to the public 
    and is an important historic piece of software. MControl doesn't 
    depend on the hardware and should work with any multitasking os.
