There is a new version of pg_dump (with blob support) at:

ftp://ftp.rhyme.com.au/pub/postgresql/pg_dump/blobs/

This version supports TAR output and has a few bug fixes. There are two
versions to download:

pg_dump_...CVS.tar.gz
and
pg_dump_...702.tar.gz

which can be used to build against CVS and version 7.0.2 respectively.

A TAR format dump is produced by using the -Ft option, and can be used as
input into pg_restore. As with the previous release, BLOBs can only be
reloaded by pg_restore if a db connection is used (via --db=<dbname>).

Any comments & suggestions would be appreciated...
