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