I have run into this same problem. If you use FME directly to translate them
you run into the same problem. The problem is with FME. I have a way around
it but it's extremely time consuming. So if you get a solution to this and
it's not posted to the list would you please copy the solution to me. 

The way I am currently doing it is by using ArcGis to change all the items
in the coverage to individual shape files one for each object type in the
coverage then I translate those individually to .tab format. I am guessing
there is some sort of header in the E00 file which tells FME how many
records it has and when FME hits the end of the file before that number is
reached it gives an error. By making them into Shape files I circumvent that
but it's a pain to do. If someone knows how to change the E00 previous to
translation to correctly reflect the number of records it has that would
work too I am guessing. I am going to E-mail Safe Co the makers of FME to
see how they say to get around it. If I get a solution from them I'll post
it here also.
Thank you,
Andy

Seasons Greetings to all

I am just going through a ARCINFO data set with E00 exchange files.

When using the Universal Translator E00 to tab conversion

I get a failed message

The last lines in the Mutlog are as shown

"
STATUS: Scanning 'ARC' record number 7400.
ArcInfo coverage or E00 compression library returned error: `'
FME Session Duration: 0.6 seconds

Hit physical end of E00 file prematurely.
Program Terminating

Translation FAILED.
Unable to generate mapping file."

I tried using 2 versions of MI PRO 6.5 and 7.0

E00 files as a rule have been very easy to import.

Any thoughts
