these are the headers that must be placed ahead of public\sdk in order to utilize atl improvements that i've made - my version actually includes vc6 sp3 fixes which the sdk\inc\atl30 doesn't yet(as of 8/00). - modified atlbase smart ptr classes to enable use of a custom stl allocator to allow ccomptr, ccomqiptr, ccombstr, etc. to be placed by value into stl containers without converting to the inefficient CAdapt class that lacks the operator& and thus causes an extra copy ctor generated addref/release on every assignment and function call into or out of an stl container/iterator. - property map chaining to allow base class persisted members to be specified in the base class impl templates. - ctor/assignment support for additional types in CComVariant - property bag load/save support for several additional VT_XXX types - thread safety in the property bag support - one line support for aggregating the free threaded marshaller(END_COM_MAP_WITH_FTM) - thread safety for for collection and com enumerator on stl container support classes - ocsncpy support in atlconv - improvements to their .rgs script parser to allow me to use it to create a property bag on the rgs script so that i can self register objects much more easily using the existing property map load stuff - an assortment of misc bug fixes
