[GRASS-user] Importing .e00 file

[M S]

I hope someone else has a better solution that doesnt involve using
arcCatalog.  If you dont have ArcCatalog, someone else will have to provide
a solution for you.

the e00's pre-date arcMap, and apparently from what I have experienced, even
though the .e00 are ASCII interchange files, they are not the same as an
"ESRI ASCII Raster file" produced by ArcCatalog within ArcMap.  (arc/info
workstation .e00 ascii file <> arcMap .txt ascii file)

I cant see how to import a raster .e00 file directly.  I would be grateful
to hear from someone how to do this.  I checked the GDAL page also, but
could not find the answer.

what will work is this:
Use ArcCatalog (or arc/info workstation) to import the .e00 file to an ESRI
GRID.
Use ArcToolBox, under "Conversion Tools", then "From Raster", then "Raster
to ASCII" dialog.
Input the raster, Input the output ASCII raster file in the dialog box.
This will output a <outfile>.txt file.
this ASCII text file can be imported using the
r.in.arc(File-->Import-->Raster Map-->ESRI Arc/Info ASCII grid)
