In case you don't know, Fields is a cc65 library to handle dialog box-

In my last related posting,it was demonstrated to me that Fields is
useless.  I think it would be useful for special-purpose databases and
data entry tasks, such as the organization of libraries and other
collections, an address book, company contacts and costomer and
product lists.  If somebody sees anything in it now, I'd appreciate a
response.  If not, then Fields was a waste of my time.

Honing your developer skills and refining routines and algorithms is never a waste of time. IMHO, the real waste would result from you tossing the whole thing aside as a failure.

I guess that a menuing system can be useful in some 8-bit context; for example, a good improvement will be porting it for an tiled graphics environment, because can be useful in games like RPG or wargame/strategy. (if someone has played games like the NES Final Fantasies, or apple ][ wizardries known what I mean for menuing in RPG/WG environment)

BTW, I have DL'd the library and is archived in my huge archive of useful sources :)
