[GRASSLIST:6891] Arc/Info Binary grid conversion

[Michael Kowen]

Hello everyone, 

I am (also) very new to using grass.

I am trying to import (to a new location) a DEM from an esri database. 
The map's current type is an Arc/Info Binary grid (or .adf file).  I
know that this file type is supported in gdal, and that it can be
imported to a raster/new location using r.in.gdal -eo and so forth.  My
problem is that the complete map is actually stored in a structure (of a
sort) involving 5-6 files.  The documentation for r.in.gdal and its
interaction with Arc/Info binary grids says that you can specify the
"coverage directory," but the command does not accept input="dir."  Is
there some extra option that allows this usage?  What is the best
technique for importing this type of file?

Thanks, 

Michael Kowen
