Thanks for the tip, but avcimport isnt very useful for coverages that 
arent very small. I get a memory allocation error with any of my .e00 
files. I think its a bit odd for m.in.e00 to be dropped from GRASS -- 
almost every GIS coverage I've ever received from anyone is in this 
format. I guess I will be sticking with 5.0.2 for the time being.

Cheers,
C.
