Markus,

   Yes, there's a great difference: speedier running v.in.e00.

   Got both of them. The source comes up with the error message ... very
helpful!

   Well, v.in.e00 completed in a few minutes while v.in.ogr struggled for
more than 5 hours before I put it out of my misery.

   I recommend (as mentioned in another message) that avce00 and e00compr be
included in the GRASS code distribution since they are wanted by v.in.e00.

Many thanks,

Rich
