According to the help file in Geosoft, I should be able to export a grid
file to ArcView using something denoted as "flt" format.  Apparently this
is a binary format.  I used the Grid -> Copy/Convert option to convert from
a Geosoft grid (GRD) to the ArcView (FLT) format.  In Geosoft the operation
seemed to go fine and I was able to access the FLT file using the Grid Info
option.  ArcView 3.2 (3D Spatial Analyst) does not, however, seem to like
the file.  I get an error with a message referring to something called
SpGrid and a syntax error.  The bottom line is that it did not work.  I
tried to export a map as an ArcView shape file.  Geosoft produced a variety
of files and ArcView seemed to read them but there was no information in
them.  My objective here is really pretty simple and that is to get a file
that can be readily imported into ArcView.  I would actually prefer to be
able to have it be a grid file rather than a map file just to avoid the
extra stuff that goes with a map file.

Has anyone done this with success and if so, how?  I am running ArcView 3.2
with 3D analyst and Oasis 4.3 SP 2 (I never did go to SP 3 because of all
of the problems people were having).
