+    Because <application>pg_dump</application> is used to tranfer data
+    to newer versions of <productname>PostgreSQL</>, the output of
+    <application>pg_dump</application> can be loaded into
+    newer versions of <productname>PostgreSQL</>.  It also can read older
+    <productname>PostgreSQL</> databases.  However, it usually cannot
+    read newer <productname>PostgreSQL</> databases or produce dump output
+    that can be loaded into older database versions.  To do this, manual
+    editing of the dump file might be required.
