Great work Randy.

Well, a haphazard one is found in the file modificaitons.h (which I'd reproduce, but I don't have the sources here at work).
This is a "get it out quick for Sevag" release with some OOP fixes and a few stdlib fixes.

Randy,

Could you make a changelog available please? Thanks.

In another thread, it was commended that the StdLib is not thread safe for fileio writing. Were any updates made? Thanks.

As I said, v1.80 was a quick release just because Sevag wanted to get a new HIDE version out. A full release will occur with 1.81 and the usual list of changes will appear then.

In another thread, it was commended that the StdLib is not thread safe for fileio writing. Were any updates made? Thanks.

This has not changed, nor will it ever change. I don't have control over the low-level routines, and placing locks in the existing code would have a very negative impact on all applications, not just those that are multi-threaded. Logically, the locks should appear at the highest level in the code (specifically, in the code that is multi-threaded). If you're writing a multi-threaded application, and there are certain file activities you want to place locks on, it's easy enough to write some simple routines to handle the semaphores (or other exclusion mechanism) for those files.
