Hello.

I have a not bootable Windows Server with Postgres 8.1; now I am=
 trying to recover it but as I can't boot the windows; I can't =
 start the postgres service and I can't do a "Backup"
So; I only have the postgres directory on my hands. I decide to=
 install the same database version in another computer and=
 replace DATA directory; but I notice that 8.1 (windows binary)=
 is not available for download.

So; I don't know how to recover the database from the data=
 directory of a windows postgres 8.1 installation.

Can you help me?
