[Qgis-user] how read arcinfo file

[Andreas Neumann]

You should be able to open arcinfo coverages using the ogr driver. Use the
"Add vector layer" button --> Source type "directory" --> select ArcInfo
Binary coverage.

ArcInfo coverages are not single files, they are a bunch of files in a
directory.

The more common way to exchange data with ESRI and other systems are ESRI
shapefiles, though.
