Does anyone know of a _batch_ utility to convert from .e00 (interchange file
format) to .shp and associated files?

I can use GlobalMapper to read in the .e00 file and output the .shp, but
only one at a time :-(

Ditto with Import71 - only one at a time.

And I have about 1000 files to convert (at the moment, and increasing)

Any useful info appreciated.

You can use import71 in command line mode. Using it that way, it is a
simple matter to create a batch file with the relevant commands in it.

There are several ways you could do it - personally I would simply
create a file with one line per file to be converted, starting with a
simple dir command. Of course, you can do it more subtly if you are a
DOS batch file wizard!

Hi,

If you can't find a ready made utility, I could check if GeoConv (or it's
"sister-program" filter) could do this. If you don't find other solutions,
could you send me sample .e00 and .shp -files for that? You find my
preferred e-mail address from my home page:
