Version of a Postgres installation

Hi,

How would a user find out which version of PostgreSQL they are using?

I've had a look thought the archives for this but the only answer I have
found is to check the PG_VERSION file in the data directory. This is all
very well if the have postmaster privileges and can access that directory,
but what about a user on a shared machine? For example someone who's ISP
allows them to use PostgreSQL?

I know they could ask the system administrator but is there not a quick and
easy way of finding out the version number?

Many regards,
