We have three Macs and one ancient Wintel box, so we're pretty much set 
on upgrading the Mac version. We're working on carbonizing our software, 
so I've seen some of the odd things that can happen with Classic. Here's 
the question: will FM7 let us produce PDF output "without a hassle" when 
we reboot the OS X machines into OS 9.2.2 (or the latest version of 9.x) 
and work in that environment?

My take on it is this: If I can run FM7 in Classic for 90% of my work, I 
can handle booting into OS 9.x for the PDF creation. I can't afford to 
stay in OS 9 mode all day.
