Determine exactly what projection (and exact parameters, units, etc. used) that
this ArcInfo file was originally created in, then use the exact same projection
in MapInfo's ArcLink translator to convert the file over to MI format. Once in
MapInfo, you can then Save Copy As to your new UTM? NAD83 Zone 10 datum based
projection.
An *.e00 file may have a PRJ section in it which contains all these
projection parameters and other info. You can search for it using WordPad, etc.
If the same projection (using same parameters, units, etc.) that this ArcInfo
File uses, is not in MapInfo already, you will need to modify the mapinfow.prj
text file to include this new projection with its parameters so you can choose
from it in the ArcLink translator later on.
If no PRJ section exists in this file, you might try contacting the
original creators of this file to get this info, see if there is any external
metadata for it, or just start experimenting with various Albers type
projections in MapInfo till you find the one that translates the file over
correctly. (e.g.: Regional Conformal projections for United States, Canada,
etc.)
The ArcLink translator will not transform *.e00 data into a new projection that
is different than what it was originally created in, you must do that using File
Save Copy As after you bring it in using the original projection\Coordinate
system.
