Run a VFP8 .EXE using the VFP9 runtime?

| I would like to test an existing VFP8 application (.EXE) under the VFP9
runtime without compiling under VFP9, is this possible?
And I'd rather not launch the VFP8 executable as a command line parameter
for the VFP9.EXE - that's a different environment than the straight VFP9
runtime.
Thanks.

| Start up VFP9 and DO your.exe in the command window.

Create a small loader program in VFP9 that does nothing more than DO the
VFP8 executable. That should mostly do what you want.
