[GRASS-user] Arc Binary coverages- arggg!

[Mark Seibel]

That's what I figured.  Then I am fairly sure this is what you're
after, http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.in.ogr.html.
  Arc Vector coverages are stored in 2 directories.  One for geometry
(the directory is the name of the coverage) and the database is
contained in an 'info' directory.  The examples below are not clear to
me how it addresses this, but it does state it will do it.  I could
try some testing tomorrow if not figured out by then.

# Arc Coverage
We import the Arcs and Label points, the module takes care to build areas:

v.in.ogr dsn=gemeinden layer=LAB,ARC type=centroid,boundary output=mymap


# E00 file (see also v.in.e00)
First we have to convert the E00 file to an Arc Coverage with
'avcimport' (AVCE00 tools, use e00conv first in case that avcimport
fails):

avcimport e00file coverage
v.in.ogr dsn=coverage layer=LAB,ARC type=centroid,boundary output=mymap

All the best.
