How do I import .e00 files into ArcView and convert the data into shape files?
The following steps or utilities will help you convert an .e00 interchange file to an ArcInfo coverage. You can then add the data as a theme in ArcView and convert the coverage to a shapefile (Theme -> Convert to Shapefile). Data contained in shapefiles can be edited in ArcView. • Use the IMPORT7.1 utility that comes with ArcView versions 3.x (Windows Start Menu -> Programs -> ArcView3.x -> Import71). • The ESRI Discussion Forum archives a batch conversion script that converts multiple .e00 interchange files into ArcInfo coverages using the ArcView Import71 utility. • The ESRI Online Support Center reports how to batch Import .e00 files via Avenue. • The GeoCommunity web site provides data Translation Tools for a variety of specialized data formats, including a set of ArcView Translators.
