Yeah, I think the company that pub'ed Genesys (SSSi) is gone.
Still, w/o having used Design Master, I recommend Genesys.
You might also consider getting Foundation, or some other free tools,
but as far as I know, Genesys is the only one that allows visual editing
of resources.

The Toolbox Reference volumes 1-3, and probably the GS/OS Reference.
It's good you already vol 3, as it is hardest to find. The ByteWorks's
toolbox books also have abridges toolbox summaries, similar to one or
both of the Gookin/Davis books.
