[GRASS-user] National Elevation Data

[Kurt Springs]

I am using the Mac OS X Version.  I downloaded the file NED_85826542\ned_85826542\w001001.adf.   I tried changing the name to w001001.adf and got the same error.

Its got several types of files:  .dir, .dat, .nit, .aux, .adf, as well as some esri metadata files (.dbf, .prj, .shp, shx).  Can anyone tell me which file is the one I want to try to import as a raster file?
