Try the avce00 library ( http://avce00.maptools.org/avce00/ ). It
contains a utility called 'avcimport' which will convert the e00 to a
arcinfo coverage. From there you can use ogr2ogr to convert to a
shapefile if needed:
avcimport input.e00 coverage
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" output.shp coverage/ arc
* The last argument of ogr2ogr is the layer name; 'arc' in the case of
lines, 'pal' in the case of polygons. I don't recall the layer name
for points but an 'ogrinfo coverage/' will give you a list of the
layer names contained in the coverage.
