The way I understand it exports are "upward compatible", in that you
dont need to use 8.x imp if the export was done in 8.x, 9.x (or higher) imp will work fine. I have imported from 7.3.3 (export done in 7.3.3) into 9.0.2 and 8.1.x using both 8 and 9 import utilities. So you *don't*need to use the IMP of the same Oracle version as the EXP used.
Going the other way however, is a different story, exporting from newer release than the release you are importing into, then you need to use the same EXP version as the IMP you are using.
