I have a simple e00 coverage that contains points attributes (it's a bunch of cities and towns along with their names) importing with v.in.e00 get me the points, but the attributes(names) are missing. I have also tried converting with avcimport first, then in through v.in.ogr. Makes no difference. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks...

Jason,
can you put the E00 somewhere to look at?

Jason,
I have tested the E00 file, in fact the names aren't transferred.
To me it looks like an avcimport bug (http://avce00.maptools.org/avce00/)
I cc to Daniel Morissette, the maintainer of the package.
It doesn't look like a GRASS problem.

Daniel,
v.in.e00 is simply a shell script wrapper to avcimport.
So, avcimport is doing the job, then v.in.ogr is used.
So we hope for a avcimport fix 
thanks for the quick response,
Markus

It seems that your file suffers from the same empty text class name
problem that's described here:
http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1261#c1This is not fixed in the lib yet.
The simple work around is to add a
name (e.g. "somename") in the blank line that follows the TX7 line in
your file:-----8<-----
TX7 2
somename
0 1 2 0 1 0 7
0
------>8----I don't know if v.in.e00 should be affected by this issue, but the
"avcimport" program definitely is. I'd suggest that you try that first
and if you still don't get the label strings (names) then I may need
more details on how v.in.e00 handles label strings to give a more
meaningful answer.Daniel
