What is the recommended technique to import .e00 files into grass57?

Suggestion
1. convert the .e00 to a coverage file with avcimport
http://avce00.maptools.org/
2. Import the coverage with v.in.ogr
Et voila

Experience shows that you may want to fiddle a bit with the dbf created in
step 1, to make sure that the cat' names are less than 12-character long (or
ten), that the category names are legal (viz, that you don't have a DATE one,
for example, as it's a reserved word)...
But it's fairly straightfowrd

Another option might be:
e002pg
http://e00pg.sourceforge.net/

E00 -> PostGIS -> v.external/v.in.ogr

I didn't try it yet.

Now can be done with 'cnames' option in v.in.ogr.
