old database dump.

Hi,
I have an old postgres database backed up using the psql >
database.bak command, as apposed to pg_dump. The database was on a linux
machine.

I'm now trying to restore this db on a windows machine using
pg8.0. However pg_restore cannot recognize the file and psql <
database.bak prompts me for a password. How can I run the psql command
without being prompted for a password. The password prompt and < command
do not mix well as you are prompted for a password and then the command
piped the file to the password prompt. If you know what I mean :(

Is there another means of restoring this database.

Theo
