How complex is your input file(s)?
ArcInfo coverage/E00 can have virtually any number of featureclasses.
However, a coverage have non-redundant geometry with only two primary
geometry sources: point and line. All other featureclasses (polygons,
nodes, multipolys, multilines etc) shares the geometry using internal
pointers but can (and will normally) have different attributes.
If I use ogr on a point-only coverage:
ogr2ogr gridp05.shp gridp05.e00
then one shapefile is created in the "working directory"
If I use ogr on a polygon coverage:
ogr2ogr grid05.shp grid05.e00
then four shapefiles (lines, polygons, labels) are created in a new
directory named grid05.shp
Best Regards
Andreas
