Import 8.0 dmp file to 7.2?

Hi all,
I know you cannot import a version 8.0 dmp file into a 7.2 database... but I had another idea to throuw out there...

Import this into an 8.0 database and then make a sqlnet alias from the 7.2 machine to that 8.0 machine... then perhaps something like:

imp73 user/pass_at_DB_ALIAS fromuser=whatever touser=whatever file=C:\the_dump.dmp full=y commit=y ignore=y

This is trying to run imp73 on an alias connection. valid?

After all this thought I'm anxious for the inevitable easy solution.

Thanks in advance,
