If you work very neatly, you can upgrade the files. But then you have
your 5.5 solution running on 8, which is slower. If you'r going to FM8,
you better redesign the solution, using the new FMP 7/8 tools, and
transfer the data.

What do you mean by redesigning the solution? Do you mean rewrite the
scripts using FM8 language or something more complex?
