This new release of the BASh 4D Component includes 66 new methods and
3 new modules of code.

Versions of BASh for both 4D v6.7.x and 4D v6.8.x (carbonized) are
available in this release.

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

The 4D Pack plugin is a required part of the BASh component.  A copy
of versions 6.7.1 and 6.8.1 of the plugin has been included with the
BASh archive for your convenience.

Make certain you read the section of the manual entitled 'Updating to
BASh v1.8.0'. There is important additions made to this version of
BASh for whether you are using 4D v6.7.x or 4D v6.8.x.

Contained in the BASh component archive is a copy of what we
affectionately call the z_Library.  Basically, the z_Library provides
documentation, containing in 4D methods, for all of our naming
conventions and code structure templates.  The methods are contained
in a small Insider v6.7.x and v6.8.x library which you can use to
import directly into your projects.  At DSTi, no project exists
without this documentation;  we suggest that your development efforts
also always include integrated developer documentation.

All total, the v1.8.0 release of the BASh component consists of 411
methods across 30 modules.  The manual is almost 500 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!

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.
