Urgent: Oracle 8i export files dont work with Oracle 8.0.5

From an Oracle 8i database under Linux, I exported a simple table using :

exp user/password file=monkey.dmp compress=y tables=monkey;

and then tried importing it under Oracle 8.0.5 under Linux without any luck using the following:

imp user/password file=monkey.dmp buffer=64000 commit=Y fromuser=user touser=user

But I get all kinds of garbage errors. It seems that the dumps are not compatible. This is contrary to what Oracle migration docs say.

Does anybody have a solution to this problem?

Thanks a million in advance.

Atif
