Default Saving the seeds from a squash?

"Pam Moore" wrote in message
I tried saving seed from a good pumpkin, a few years ago.
The following year, the resulting plant produced a pumpkin-coloured,
pumpkin-fleshed, but marrow-shaped fruit.
I had grown courgettes alongside the pumpkin from which I saved the
seed!

This year I've grown traditional 'straight' courgettes alongside some
'round' variety of courgettes. I'd been thinking of keeping some seeds from
the round ones. However, am I likely to get plants which are hybrids of each
type or even something not very productive or good to eat?
