Actually, it does. You can save FM9 files as FM7.x-compatible files in
either MIF or binary FM format. Well, let me hedge a bit: I _know_ you
can save as FM7.x (non-Unicode) MIF. I'm not as certain about binary FM
files, and I don't have FM9 right now. But the MIF will get you there. 

IIRC, there have been a few issues going from non-Unicode to Unicode
and/or back (as you might expect), but nothing big. Your contributors
with FM9 should be able to send you files you can open with FM7.x and
use with little or no trouble.
