I doubt you'll have trouble with 9, but in any event there is no 
reason you can't have both 8 and 9 installed on the same 
computer.  In your programs, if you haven't already, you may want to 
add the line

version 8.2

to the top of them, so you are less likely to be affected by any 
changes that have occurred.
