[GRASS-user] can't ingest an E00 file using r.in.gdal, or anything else?

[Jeff Hamann]

I'm not sure why this is not working, and I'm having a little trouble  
getting a satisfactory answer on the web.

I'm trying to import an e00 file (arc/info grid) using r.in.gdal. For  
example,

GRASS 6.4.0svn (himom):~/Documents/rufus/incoming/wadnr > r.in.gdal  
input=lewis_dem30.e00 output=lewisdem location=himom2 --verbose
ERROR 4: `lewis_dem30.e00' not recognised as a supported file format.

from outside GRASS,

Jeff-Hamanns-MacBook-Pro:lewis_dir hamannj$ gdalinfo lewis_dem30.e00
ERROR 4: `lewis_dem30.e00' not recognised as a supported file format.

gdalinfo failed - unable to open 'lewis_dem30.e00'.
Jeff-Hamanns-MacBook-Pro:lewis_dir hamannj$

and the file looks like this:

Jeff-Hamanns-MacBook-Pro:lewis_dir hamannj$ head lewis_dem30.e00
EXP  0 /AM/PROCESS/DATASERVICES/LEWIS_DIR/LEWIS_DEM30.E00

Any hints? What kind of file is this, really?

Thanks,
Jeff.
