I used the avcimport to convert the E00 files to the arc/info binary.  But I lose data in the process.  Same thing as with the e002shp.
For instance, I have a file called PPPOINT.E00.  This file contains Populated Places for Honduras in Point format.  City points basically.  This file contains the lat/lons of the points, and city names.
when I use avcimport the city names are lost, and all I have are the points, no names.

Is there a way to keep the city names?  I might need to use the library to create my own program, but then I still don't know how they city names join to the lat/lon information.

Thanks again,

Jerl

Jerl,

I would suggest you use the "avcimport" program to convert the
E00 file to an arc/info binary vector coverage which OGR can
read.
