[GRASSLIST:3676] problem importing e00 files

Hi,

I have problem importing .e00 file with grass 5 (and grass4.3). The problem
is for polygon coverage. The export format of arc/info for polygon coverage
do not include any PAL or PAT section but only an AAT section, so grass
doesn't recognize it as a polygon coverage. It is possibly due to a change
in arc/info .e00 file in the new version of arc/info.

in the last version the files were name like ******l.** for lines entity,
******a.** for area but the new version saves area file like ******d.*** for
"line entity delineating an area".

I have try everything that I've saw in the grass list concerning the e00
files but none of them work. I have no problem with m.in.e00 for generating
the vector map but when I try to generate a raster, it just won't work
properly cause no polygon are detected. ( I have also tried to change all L
by A in the files generated by grass but it dont do anything).

Also, editing all the files manually in v.digit would be to much work cause
I have about 250 files to integrate and dont have enough time to do it with
v.digit.

Do anyone has any idea. Any suggestion would be appreciated...

Tanks in advance
