I removed the colr file and all worked well! I guess then that Arc7.1 can
read Grass4.1 formats. I was unsuccessful with the the GRASS_COLORS
environment variable. I set it to 256. What should it be set too? Is it really
GRASS_COLORS or GRASS_COLOR?
The advantage of using this over the ASCII option is that all the category
information is lost (at least the way we did it) and the file size is large.
Note that negative values in Grass apparently are converted to zero in ArcGrid.
Thanks,

The problem is in the colr tables. Arc only knows about
3.x color structures not 4.x. Two solutions:
There is an environment varible called something GRASS_COLORS..
or something. If that is set then when a map is created it is created with
a 3.x not a 4.x colr table and ARC is happy. The actual varible
name should be known to someone on the list or is in the GRASSu/p
archives somewhere.
OR
you can blow away the colr file (save it under another name)
and then run the ARC command. You will then have to create a color
table in ARC.What I don't get is why ESRI didn't update the ARC code in
7.0 The GRASS colr specs have been published for a couple of years.
Oh well, I guess I *do* know.>
