I used the avcimport to convert the E00 files to the arc/info binary. But I lose data in the process. Same thing as with the e002shp.<br>For instance, I have a file called PPPOINT.E00. This file contains Populated Places for Honduras in Point format. City points basically. This file contains the lat/lons of the points, and city names.
<br>when I use avcimport the city names are lost, and all I have are the points, no names.<br><br>Is there a way to keep the city names? I might need to use the library to create my own program, but then I still don't know how they city names join to the lat/lon information.
