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
