Hi
I just lost few hours importing data from grass to Arc
for som resons I must it transver as Arc ASCII Grid
Generally the reason of problems was that grass output ASCII grid as LF, but Arc (and some other applications) Requiers CL RF (linux - windows problem)
generally unix2dos utility solve that problem after r.out.arc
maybe this message will be usfull for somebody.........

I think r.out.arc has been around since the days when Arc/Info commonly
ran on UNIX, and I've never had that problem with the module's output,
so I suspect this is a new bug in Arc. Which version of Arc has the
error? We can add the hint to the help page.
Besides unix2dos, you can work around the problem with this patch:

Thanks
It concern ArcView 9.0 with SP2 with TauDEM installed (ie probably TauDEM has problem with reading that grid) also problem has TAS GIS - ASCII Arc is the only way to import data from GRASS (inspite it has more import option)

Ok,
I added the ArcView 9.0 import instructions to the r.out.arc help
page in Jan 2005, and it worked for me then. TauDEM appears to be GPL
open source, so if it's broken anyone can fix it.
r.out.gdal should give you a big pile of common format options:

including another implementation of the Arc GRID format:
