What I'd try doing is this: find a 8.1 version of PG (8.1.4 or later) and run this against the data you saved off, once this is running you can then run 8.3's version of pg_dump against it, then you can restore this dump into the new version of PG.
Sam, OK. I'm downloading 8.1.13. I'll build this to install in /usr/local. If I cd to /usr/local/bin/ and specify 'postgres -D /usr4/pgsql_old/data', then I can specify /usr/bin/pg_dumpall to use the 8.3.3 version against the running 8.1.13 server. (Writing to myself, unless there's an egregious error here. In that case, please let me know!) Results when I have them. Thanks, Rich -- Richard B.
