Thank you. I'm used to installing from source or Debian packages. I
haven't poked around too much at the console level of the Mac. I would
assume I install from source and just point the install to the old data
directory? Any gotchas to watch for that aren't in the manual? I would
assume I should "upgrade" to 7.3.4, and see if that fixes enough that I
can generate a database dump. Afterwards bring it forward t0 the 8.0
series.

Eric
