Hi Jeremy,

	Yes, ungenerate produces a number of ASCII files (for vector maps
it would produce a file with coordinates and one with label points). Since
you do not have Arc, your only hope is to have some other package available
that DOES read binary Arc vector maps, though I haven't heard of one. Perhaps
you can ftp the file to some friendly ArcInfo owner for ungeneration....
