The Multics project was begun in 1964 by the Computer Systems Research group of M.I.T. Project MAC. The goal was to create a prototype of a computer utility. This technical report represents the Introduction to the users manual for the Multics System. It is published in this form as a convenient method of communications with researchers and students of computer system design. It is divided into three major parts: 1) Introduction to Multics, 2) Reference Guide to Multics and 3) Subsystems Writers'' Guide to Multics.
