Multiple versions of FM have always coexisted with no problems. Of
course, the .fm, .mif, and .book file extensions will become associated
with FM 8. But you can change that in Windows if you want. 

One caution: Multiple versions of Acrobat (and that includes Distiller)
do _not_ peacefully coexist. I don't recall if FM 8 comes with
Distiller. But if it does, either don't install it or first remove any
previous version you have (either the full Acrobat or the Distiller
bundled with FM 7.x). 

HTH, and happy weekend!
