Adding to these comments;  ARCVIEW2 (DOS) views/uses ARC coverages in PC-ARC
format, so usually, UNIX ARC data must be exported from ARC (using EXPORT) and
the imported to the PC-ARC format on a PC using an IMPORT utility supplied
with AV2. (unless you're UNIX/DOS networked together using PC-NFS or somesuch) 

The version of IMPORT supplied with ARCVIEW2 only will import single precision
coverages.
 
*       v.out.arc produces ARC 'ungenerate' format data, 
*       ARCVIEW2 import requires ARC export format data

Perhaps someone is developing a module for GRASS that produces ARC export 
files?       :)
