Hello Bart,
You can find a procedure to import ArcInfo data into GRASS at the FAQ
web site:
http://www.cecer.army.mil/grass/faq.html
All these procedures use the ungenerate feature of ArcInfo. What this means
is that you need to get someone with ArcInfo to ungenerate this coverage
for you. The procedure in ArcInfo is explained. I have imported an ArcInfo
coverage this way, my experience was that I had to edit the attribute text
and change any spaces to underscores.
I hope this helps. Talk to you later.

Dear GRASS users,
I am new to this newsgroup and I am just in the process
of planning and studying how to download and install GRASS in my
LINUX system. I already found a site were I can download the LINUX
binaries of GRASS. I have been following this news group for already
5 months and my impression is that GRASS has still many problems
and bugs that needs to be fixed and if you are not an expert in
programming, you will have a lot of frustrating moments. Before I plunge
into this wonderful world of frustrations, I would like to know if my
main objective will be met by using GRASS. I recently acquired 30sec X
30sec elevation and bathymetric data which I plan to use in my
reasearch. This data is freely distributed by EDC-DAAC of the USGS. The
format according to the documentation is readable by ARCINFO. Since I
can't afford to use this expensive software, I would like to know if
there is anyone from this group who had experience in reading this type
of data using GRASS. Thank you in advance to anybody who will answer my
inquiry.BART BAUTISTA
