    From a developer's point of view, HCGS is a far superior tool.  The
scripting language can be used to automate many tasks that are
impossible using SimpleScript and HS 3.1.  A wrote a simple stack to
generate the Truetype sample graphics.  All I have to do is click the
mouse, perhaps adjust the line spacing using the arrow keys, then click
again to save the graphic.  You can't do that with HS.  From a user's
point of view though, HS is better because of the lower memory
requirements and the run-time module.
