YES, thanks.

During my company's transition from 8i to 10g, we had various instances in pre- and post-conversion states, and still had to share/move data between them. We were able to go both directions, provided that when the receiving database was 8i, we used the 8i binaries AND libraries (I forgot this once or twice, and got core dumps!!) to export the data from the 10g database. It's been a couple of months, so I checked myself with a quick test this morning. Worked fine. Hope this helps.
