Dear Jeff,

We would like to help you but you need to give us more information for your problem.

What platform do you use?

When said you were unable to import/convert e00 files did qgis given you any specific error message? If so what was it?

What do you mean you were unable to load raster and vector files? Qgis couldn't load them due an error? What was it?


Normally it's pretty straight forward importing data. One dataset that I know that works for sure is the ones from natural-earth[1].

Here's the natural earth data or world countries [2]. Give them a try if you can load them in qgis.

I am working with the Dominican Red Cross for 12 months assisting with
disaster preparedness and prevention. Members have begun mapping
communities for hazards using google maps and very lengthy hand written
notes etc.


I have installed QGIS 1.8.0-Lisboa but am frustrated at being unable to
get started ie I have purchased some data on Dominica from the
Geocommunity website (which I have on CD) but simply cannot get in onto
the program. I have tried to convert the e00 files into shape files but
have not been successful. I think the software has some sample data but
again have not been able to access either Rasta or Vector layers.


All the videos and training I find start from having the data accessible
to the program. I feel once I get something to work with I will be away.


Hope someone can assist
