BASh 1.8.5

BASh is a 4D component that provides extensive utility commands, especially for dynamically reusable variable space (DSS, Dynamic Stack Space, module), date-time stamps (DTS module), resources (RES module), encoding and decoding (CODEC module), encryption (CRYPT module), X4D module (record packing in XML), XML management, and much, much more.
The BASh component now consists of 477 methods across 32 modules of code.
