- This section focuses on things the user will need to successfully
- utilize this program package. This does not only include hardware
- requirements, but also certain skills of the user.
-
- <H2>User Requirements</H2>
-
- <P><hsc CAP> is not a tool for beginners. It does not make html
- easier. It only makes it a bit less painful and brain-damaged - that's
- all. Therefor, these documents assume that you are already familiar
- with html. There exist several sources for beginners, and this won't
- be page #1876545 which lists these sources.</P>
-
- <P>The user is expected to have already worked with some macro
- language before.</P>
-
- <P>If you want to utilize the <A HREF="project/index.html">project
- management capabilities</A>, you should also know how to work with
- <make> and write your own <Makefile>s. As it does not make much sense
- to use <hsc> without it, this probably is a must.</P>
-
- <P>For several other advanced topics, it is required to have some
- experiences with any programming language. Rexx is fully sufficient
- for these task, and most examples and some supporting stuff is written
- in this language.</P>
-
- <P>As <hsc> is a CLI-only tool, any knowledge of how to work with
- mouse and icons is not required.</P>
-
- <P>Please note that I'm quite serious about all that. As I don't get
- paid for every new user, there is no need for me to have as many
- people as possible using this program.</P>
-
- <P>Actually I do not care if you try to use it, find out you can not
- cope with it, scream out "Dammit, I'm a looser!" and jump out of the
- window from the 27th floor. But I start caring about as soon as you do
- not jump out of the window and instead send me bloody emails with
- silly questions.</P>
-
- <P>So those who now say "Fine, I always wanted to learn how to write
- Makefiles" should consider looking for some other tool or prepare
- themselves for jumping out of the window.</P>

-
- <H2>System Requirements</H2>
-
- <P><STRONG>Memory:</STRONG> Well, this mostly depends on your
- input-data. To process reasonable sized pages, about 300K of free ram
- should be enough. For large pages and projects using loads of
- documents, this can increase to 1MB or even more, so your machine
- should have at least 2MB of memory.</P>
-
- <P><STRONG>Stack:</STRONG> A stack value of 12 KB usually should be
- sufficient; at least, this worked for these documents.</P>
-
- <P><STRONG>AmigaOS and CPU:</STRONG> Basically, it works on an A2000
- with AmigaOS 2.04 and a plain 68000, but as this isn't much fun, the
- binaries are compiled for 68020. As <hsc> is not one of the fastest, a
- 68040 is recommended.</P>
