[gdal-dev] Read and Write ArcGIS Bynary GRID

Jorge,

GRID files?

I generally work with GRID files in GRASS.  As mentioned before, gdal ( 
r.in.gdal in this case) imports the GRID layers fine.  To export back to 
ArcGIS, I use the r.out.arc command, 
http://grass.fbk.eu/grass65/manuals/html65_user/r.out.arc.html , in GRASS 
to create an ESRI ASCII GRID file. 

        You can then import that back into ArcGIS.  Bear in mind that if 
you are a 32-bit windowsXP platform you will not be able to import a text 
file larger than 43? GB ( Frank?) in size due to the limitations of the 
WindowsXP 32 bit filesystem.  I have successfully imported data ESRI ASCII 
GRID files to ArcGIS up to 60GB in size on a computer running WindowsXP 64 
bit with ArcGIS 9.3.1.  Email me directly if you need further info.
