There are some newer features in VFP9 that could cause a problem if you try
to compile in VFP7.  And SQL-SELECT is definitely different in VFP9 as
opposed to VFP7.  If you use SQL-SELECT in the VFP7 apps, and do not want to
recode to comply with the stricter syntax of VFP9 SQL-SELECT, I would
suggest taking the coward's way out (I did <g>).  Use the SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR
70 command to make certain VFP9 compilations do not produce strange effects.
As for future apps, until I cut to Dabo, I will use VFP9 and change my
SQL-SELECT commands to adhere to the latest requirements.
