> Is there a way to restore an old Postgresql 7.3 database using an 8.0 server?  When I use the 7.3 data directory on
8.0,it gives an error that it's not compatible, not to my surprise. I could install an old PostgreSQL 7.3 somewhere,
readthe databases there and make a real pg_dump, but I was wondering if there's an easier way. If only because I don't
knowwhere to find a 7.3 installation :) 

Not from the data directory.
The source and various binaries for 7.3 are still available on the PostgreSQL
web site.
