[Xastir] Re: How to deal with .e00 files?

[Brian D Heaton]

Matt,

	The e00 files are an old ArcView interchange format.  You can find
utilities that will convert them (with varying degrees of success) to
shapefiles.  I'd probably go to the USGS National Map and download the
state-level shapefiles rather than trying to deal with the e00 files
unless they are something you can't get from the National Map data.
