Notes for the RISC OS port (1.00)
---------------------------------
In order to use 'hsc' it seems sensible to use a filing system that supports
long filenames since some files in this distribution archive (and also in the
source archive) have names up to 20 characters long. This means that you
should use something like LongFiles to obtain more than 10 characters from a
standard FileCore FS (eg. ADFS, SCSIFS, IDEFS, etc.) or use a separate filing
system (eg. raFS) or some sort of image filing system (eg. X-Files).
The program 'PDMake' is supplied in this distribution and should be used in
preference to 'amu' (Acorn Make Utility) to handle makefiles. In fact, due to
the way HTML filenames are handled on RISC OS by the various browsers, the
makefile should use names in Unix notation (eg. ../MyHTML/hsc.html
corresponding to ^.MyHTML.hsc/html under RISC OS) but 'amu' and other ports
of GNU 'make' seems to handle the extensions in the wrong way (ie. as in C
programs where 'sources/hsc.c' must be converted to 'sources.c.hsc').
The original sources should compile on RISC OS without modifications. Please
read the instructions supplied in the 'riscos' directory of the sources
archive for more informations about the compilation.
The <$exec> tag doesn't work very well in the RISC OS port. To make it work
you can use something like:
<$exec COMMAND="command { > RAM:$.tmp }" TEMPORARY INCLUDE FILE="RAM:$/tmp">
^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^
RISC OS style Unix style
Remember to add 'PRE' and 'SOURCE' as needed (see documentation of <$include>
for more informations).
The examples supplied in the 'examples' and 'docs-source' directory should
work using 'PDMake'. The 'grafflwerk' directory mentioned in the docs is not
supplied in this distribution because it contains ARexx-scripts which won't
work with RISC OS.
Updates
-------
The latest version of the RISC OS port of 'hsc' should be available from the
authors' WWW pages:
http://www.alphawave.ltd.uk/sergio/hsc.html
http://www.axis.demon.co.uk/hsc/
The documentation (HTML online and Postscript) and the sources are only
available from the hsc-support-w3-page:

Contacting the authors of the RISC OS port
------------------------------------------
Please contact us if your problem seems to be specific to the RISC OS port,
contact the author (Thomas Aglassinger, see main docs files for email
address) if the problem regards 'hsc' in general.
