Tom I remember swapping notes with Russell Lawley a year or more ago about this subject, and downloaded his "Qik_avlreader" tool. That got me started on what I wanted to do, but I didn't produce any sort of a tool that would be useful to you. as I recall, I did a lot of "translation" by hand (stuffing things into a .WOR file). What you're asking is sort of the reverse of what my task was then - you don't have the .AVL file from an ESRI dataset. Possibly your enquiry will elicit more information, but the problems (differences between the way the 2 companies do things) is an awkward one. most people would give up in frustration. I guess that's why Safe Software makes a buck out of FME.

My mistake, I meant *.avl which was the legend file from ArcView 3. This is replaced today, as it seems by the *.style file. This file in turn is part of the ArcGIS workspace concept which is explained in this link http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/body.cfm? tocVisable=1&ID=2291&TopicName=About%20workspaces Sorry about the confusion.
