Ken,

The .gra file is related to printing.  For exemple, it can be a color
calibration file in ArcInfo or ArcView.  The .apr file is an ArcView layout
(similar to .wor).

Have a nice week-end

Subject: MI-L importing E00 files


G'day all

I have just downloaded a map of the Geology of the Conterminous United
States at 1:2,500,000 Scale from http://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds11/index.html
and I am trying to get it into MapInfo.

The map came as the files shown below. I can convert the .e00 files into
.tab files using the Universal Translator toll, but does anyone know what
the .gra and .apr files are? and how do I get them into Mapinfo?

The kbge.eps file is the main geology map and I assumed that once I
converted the .e00 files, there should have been some .tab file related to
the .eps file that would allow me to directly open it georeferenced into
MapInfo. However, this is not the case. How do I get this eps file to open
in MapInfo? The prj.e00 file has the following information;

EXP  0 /SCRATCH_AREA2/KBEXPORT/ALB2GEO.PRJ.E00
