I have a backup file from Postgresql 8.1.4. When I try to use 8.2.5 pg_restore the restore doesn't recognize the archive format. The archive file was made with the command below. Is there a way to get 8.2.5 to recognize the file, or a way to run the file as a script from a different program like PG_ADMIN III? As far as I can see the archive is text. My postgresql 8.1.4 installation is no longer working.

su --command="/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dump -p 55432 -U postgres -C -D -f /tmp/$(date +%F)owl.sql owl"
