Arc/INFO's EXPORT format is a proprietory format, and ESRI has not made, 
nor plans to make, this format public _to_the_best_of_my_knowledge_. They 
consider the UNGENERATE format to be their "open" format. Therefor, it 
doesn't seem likely that there will be an input translator for EXPORT 
format data written anytime in the near future.
