Release 8.0 DP 9

[Alex Tweedly]

It turns out I was wrong - I can't get it to run in 8.0-dp-4

I've been using that version of LC8 - but only doing minimal stuff, 
testing stacks that were developed under 7.0.  I had changed 
lcStackbrowser to be run 'on request', instead of 'on startup' because I 
had had problems,  so I wasn't actually using it in LC8 at all.

I upgraded to 2.2.1 but still have problems with 8.0 versions. When I 
run lcStackBrowser, it tries to run bvgDocu2 which fails.
It is now failing with a different error message than before (in both 
DP4 and DP9).
(error message is about arraydecode from a URL (...../dict.index))

So I decided I probably had an old version of bvgDocu - downloaded it, 
and it now fails with
"Can't find background" error when executing
    show group "please stand by"

You know what - I'll just wait for a better version of LC8, and the news 
that both you and bvg have been able to successfully run your plugins, 
and then I'll try to move up from LC7 to LC8.

Thanks
-- Alex.
