The development of SuperToolz is what makes HotDog Pro so flexible. SuperToolz are plug-in programs that you can use to work in conjunction with HotDog Pro. SuperToolz allow for an unlimited extension of HotDog's functionality, while at the same time giving users the ability to pick and choose the functionality they want to include in HotDog Pro. You can either add your own programs to use with HotDog Pro (just select Create SuperToolz... in the menu) or you can use one of the fantastic SuperToolz created By Sausage. Sausage Software provides 24 supertoolz; 4 are freely available to all customers, 6 are third party SuperToolz (that is, they are developed and supported by other companies) and 14 regular Sausage SuperToolz. Seventeen of our supertoolz are included in our great Supertoolz Value Pack. For your convenience, every Sausage SuperTool can be downloaded, purchased (if not free), maintained and updated via the Internet from within HotDog Pro. Simply by selecting Download SuperToolz... in the menu, HotDog Pro will take you to our Autodownloader so that you can download and install your chosen SuperToolz or SuperToolz updates, ready to use immediately and with no fuss. The AutoDownloader helps you keep in contact with Sausage Software and lets us give you the latest updates on the software we make. As well as plug-in programs, HotDog can even upgrade itself (if the upgrade has been released) using the SuperTool architecture. This includes shell upgrades and HTML syntax files. Even the AutoDownloader itself can be upgraded. When you start the AutoDownloader, your default Internet Browser is started, loading the Autdownloader webpage. The Sausage SuperToolz include website design utilities, image manipulation tools, animation/special effects, video/audio tools, website enhancement tools, download utilities and search engine tools. The Sausage SuperToolz section further below provides brief information about each SuperTool. Alternatively, you can find more information about each SuperTool by pointing your browser to: http://www.sausagetools.com/supertoolz/ and selecting the specific SuperTool you're interested in for further information. With regards to specific help, you can usually press F1 or find a help button within the program to provide specific information. For quick access to your Supertoolz, the Supertoolz resource panel is useful. Providing the same functions as the SuperToolz menu, you can just double-click on any of the Supertoolz icons to activate them. Remember, you will need to first install some Supertoolz.
