 Running Paradox 8 and Paradox 11 Concurrently?

We are migrating an application from Paradox 8 to Paradox 11 to run on Windows 10. Some things broke, and still need to be fixed. Since I haven't written any ObjectPAL code in 20 years this isn't as easy as I had hoped.
We are about 90% functional in Paradox 11, but as we chip away at the other 10% I wonder if it is possible to safely run 8 and 11 simultaneously, meaning to pointing at the same tables at the same time?
It appears that anything compiled is version-specific, so we can simply use the uncompiled files until migration is complete, except for a couple of parallel libraries that will need to exist. If this works we will be able to continue to support the mission-critical pieces on Paradox 8 that are still not working on 11. My big fear is corrupting the data somehow.
I appreciate your thoughts!

you won't corrupt the data with mixed versions.. just maintain the identical mapping for all instances.. maintaining two concurrent sets of code will be very annoying, but there are ways to do that

Thanks! We'll give it a try. It is really just for backup in case we are struggling to get something working on 11, we can use 8 in a pinch as we port over.
