All,

This new release of the BASh Component provides over two dozen new
methods.

It also includes internally many enhancements and changes.  The new
methods are spread over many of the existing modules of code;  two
completely new modules have been added to this release, as well.

A new version of the Affix BASh document is now included.

The 4D Pack plugin is a required part of the BASh component.  A copy
of version 6.7.1 of the plugin has been included with the BASh archive
for your convenience.

Please read the Developer documentation for installation instructions
for this release of the BASh component.

All total, the v1.5.5 release of the BASh component consists of 222
methods across 22 modules.  The manual is almost 300 pages long and
still growing!

And, like all previous releases, all of the code within the BASh
component is ready to use immediately.  There are no compiler issues
to be concerned about;  all of the variables are typed in compiler
methods for even the most stringent 4D developers.  Just install the
component in your structure and start calling the methods within it. 
It is _really_ that simple!

Obviously,  this is still a work in progress.  Watch for announcements
about updates which will become available, as we are continually
working on finishing off the documentation and adding new features to
the BASh component.

For those that have already been using the BASh component for all of
their new 4D project work, you will soon be able to take advantage of
many other tools we will soon be making available.  Within the week
there should be a public beta available of a major new offering from
Deep Sky Technologies, Inc.  And, this new offering requires the use
of BASh.  So, you already have a "leg up" on the competition.

As you have come to expect from high quality software development
firms, Deep Sky Technologies, Inc., is committed to providing the
support, service, quality, and compatibility which any modern software
developer requires in their tools' vendors.  Feel free to contact me
at any time if you have any questions or problems with the software in
the BASh component.  And, of course, feature requests are always
welcome.
