[FX.php List] [Off-ish] Advice on FMS8A -> FMS9A migration strategy

[Jon Montgomery]

Bob,
    This is information I have heard, but not ever tried.  But I remember
hearing that the API and FX.php can co-exist on the same page.  Again, I
heard this but have not ever tried it.  If this is the case, then a
developer could use the best of both worlds could they not?
