I've got my saber saw
I've got all I need
Cuz I got my tools

As hsc is only one part of a puzzle, this chapter should give you some hints where you can find other parts. However this does not claim to point out all additional tools that can be useful inc combination with hsc. But at least it should list all utilities mentioned somewhere in this manual.

Some stuff that should be useful for project management:

• aminet:dev/c/make-3.75-bin.lha, an Amiga-port of GNUmake. Different to several other Unix-ports, no ixemul.library is required, as it was compiled with SAS/c.
• aminet:dev/gcc/gccXXXdoc.lha, which contains (among other documents) the manual to GNUmake in AmigaGuide format (the exact filename depends on the version of gcc).
• GNUmake and diff (and all other GNU utilities) can be obtained from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/. There are several mirror sites of this material, scan the ReadMes there for details.

As hsc's syntax check is quite small and clumsy, maybe you should also have a look at one of the following sources:

• CheckHTML - based on SGMLS, but easier to use. Available from aminet:comm/www/CheckHTML.lha; for those who insist on using a dtd.
• WebLint, a Perl-script that is even more cryptic to configure than hsc. And it's Perl.. würg, kotz, reiha.. (http://www.unipress.com/cgi-bin/WWWeblint)
• HalSoft's validation service maybe provides the most competent syntax-check, but most likely the slowest. (http://www.webtechs.com/html-val-svc/)

To show a document in your browser from the Makefile once hsc has written it, you can use aminet:comm/www/OpenURL.lha.

To use Unixoid filenames within AmigaOS, there are numerous tools available. For example, you can use

• aminet:dev/gcc/ixpath.lha - commandline only, source code included
• aminet:util/boot/DosWedgeXX - implemented as a commodity

And some resources that have been quite useful during the development of hsc, but are probably also worth a reading if you are serious about w3-authoring:

• Composing Good HTML, a general introduction to the whole HTML problem. It's also useful to better understand several messages of hsc. (http://www.ology.org/tilt/cgh/)
• The Alertbox: Current Issues in Web Usability - might frustrate you, but answers several ``Why?''s. (http://www.useit.com/alertbox/)
• Richard Scarry: ``Mein allerschönstes Buch vom Backen, Bauen und Flugzeugfliegen'' - a general introduction to life and how to cope with it.
