Determing Postgres version

For an off-campus project, my web hosting ISP has the PostgreSQL
postmaster running on a host separate from where my web pages are hosted.
My queries work OK, but I can't get LIMIT to work. I suspect he hasn't
upgraded to version 7 yet. How can I query for a version? I can't use
pg_config --version because it's not on my local host and anyway it
wouldn't find the postmaster on this host.

Can I use a SQL query to determine the version of the postmaster?

Thanks in advance.
Gary
