[GRASS-user] Data interchange file format

[Antonis Christofides]

Hi,

They've contacted me from an agency where they have a contractor
preparing some geographical data for them, and the contractor is going
to deliver the data on a CD.  I'm being asked what file format they
should request.  They originally intended to ask for arcinfo files,
but now they are more interested in open source systems.  Does grass
read arcinfo data interchange files?  But, in any case, an open
standard for such interchange would be preferable, is there any that
is reasonably widely supported?

Thanks!
