Hi,
I recently lost the ability to run postgres from a drive due to a kernal
implosion, as a result I have had to install a new version of postgres on
another drive. (Which was fine since I was changing servers anyway) I
recovered the files on this old machine which were in 7.0 format and the
install on the new machine is 7.1.3, due to the format change I was unable
to use the old files. After several day and a lot of anguish trying to
install an older version of postgres I have resorted to asking for help. Is
there a way to recover the database info via a dump from these files?

Steve
