[Mapserver-users] converting e00 to postgis for use by mapserver

[Flavio Hendry]

hi heitzso

the newest version of FME (www.safe.com) supports PotGIS (and obvioulsy 
supports all ESRI formats). If you need sophisticated translation FME 
does it for you - however it a commercial product (but a good one!).

bet regards
