Are you sure? An ArcInfo grid is not a single file, but a directory
containing several files. I have just tried using a filename
(E:\data\elevation\w001001.adf), but I got the same results: GetMap
works, but GetFeatureInfo doesn't. If I should use a filename in stead
of the directoryname, which of the files should I use?
