OK well the gunzip seemed to "do the trick," but I don't recall before having to do anything other than run the pg_restore command. Anyway, thanks to everyone for all your help!

About the idea of not using pg_restore for these dumps, what I'm still
missing is how it's worked for all these years before. Are there now more
stringent standards being enforced?
The command below says create a plain text file that has commands to clean database objects before recreating and store text in file ./Trading-Access using gzip compression at level 5:
/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin/pg_dump -c -f ./Trading-Access -Z 5 Trading-Access
To restore I would think you need to gunzip ./Trading-Access and then feed the file to psql.
