Doug,

   No, I didn't. I've no idea where the file was dumped, so I've no idea of
the name or location. Reading in Douglas*2 PostgreSQL book (pages 872-873),
they write nothing about giving pg_dumpall a file name/location nor that
pg_restore needs that information. They do write that pg_restore wants a dump
produced with -format=c or -format=t, without further explanation.

Thanks,

Rich
