As I remember  v8 worked OK - the machine code interface at any rate.

My systems use 7.65 without problems, which was the first high colour
version. 7.66 has at least the extension problems that I noticed, too.
I'm not up-to-date what changed in v8.

I'll try to get the sources (and manual), maybe we can address some of
the problems.

7.64 support GD2?


No, this was the last mode 4 version.
v7.65 is the first attempt at GD2 compatibility.
IN v8.xx the Long Words that hold the palette parameter in the low bytes,  
also use the high bytes for extra options like timeout.
This should not be a problem when used from S*Basic but may be an issue  
when called from machine code when the high bytes are taken for granted.

This could be why in QDT LSEL does not work properly.

Yes, v7.66 is buggy, but v8 is not much better...

In my experience, the only valid QMenu version is 7.64. v8.00 got several
annoyances and compatibility issues and, IIRC (that was many years ago),
removed things from its configuration that broke the way I always used
QMenu, so I rejected it years ago, and religiously (for an atheist,
that's quite a superlative !) kept v7.64 on all my systems.

yes, but probably is a QDT problem..
QMenu 7.66 has a lot of problem, ink  color in view_file remains always
black, extension filter don't work and some other problems... Qmenu 8,
works well..
maybe in QDT the author has done some "tricks" .
Probably the author had to make some adjustments to make it work, which
pggi annoy version 8.

The main problem I know of with QMenu v8 is that QDT no longer works 
properly - you cannot create a new program icon in a QDT window

IIRC, version 8 only worked on recent systems such as QPC2, or at least had 
only limited functionality on older ones. V7.66 menu_rext is available from 
my website (Programming Utils page) - a manual for either would be quite 
welcome since Marcel has confirmed it'd be OK to make it available.
