Source Code

Availability

The source archive should be available from the same location where you are supposed to get updates from. Look out for an archive called hsc-source.lha.

Compiling

The source archive contains a README how to compile the whole stuff. If you basically know how to cope with a C-compiler and a Makefile, there should be no real problem for you.

Portability

hsc was written in naked & masochistic ANSI-C. Even worse, it only uses functions of the standard library and does not require any Amiga- or Un*x-specific include files like <dir.h>, <String.h> or functions like ReadArgs(), stricmp() etc.

This should ensure a maximum of portability. However, the handling of filenames is a system-dependant thing, which has to be adapted for every OS. See also the section about ``Existing Ports''
