e00 to something OGR can read

[Jerl Simpson]

I used the avcimport to convert the E00 files to the arc/info binary.  But I
lose data in the process.  Same thing as with the e002shp.
For instance, I have a file called PPPOINT.E00.  This file contains
Populated Places for Honduras in Point format.  City points basically.  This
file contains the lat/lons of the points, and city names.
when I use avcimport the city names are lost, and all I have are the points,
no names.

Is there a way to keep the city names?  I might need to use the library to
create my own program, but then I still don't know how they city names join
to the lat/lon information.

Thanks again,

Jerl
