Dear GRASS Development Team

I have been using GRASS in native window-Cygwin since 2000. In
Thailand, many agencies use ESRI'software such as Arc/Info, Arc View
Program. Also, the Arc-Node-Topology are be influenced the data model
–Coverage that have Topology. I try export data from GRASS into shape
file and import into Arc View: Topology generated in GRASS is not
found in Arc View table.
  
It is possible that GRASS will be support v.out.e00 in the next
version.Infact, I am using both arc/info and grass, So, I demand GRASS version
6.0 supporting export e.00 format (V.out.e00), because I can exchange
GIS data between agencies in Thailand that mostly use arc/info.

Best Regards

I suppose that the best way to go, and most likely to succeed, would be to ask
for (even better - fund) the support for writing E00 in GDAL/OGR library
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/, which GRASS uses for vector import/export. Then a
wide variety of FOSS GIS, including GRASS, could use this functionality.

Note that GDAL 1.4.0 already supports E00 for reading. See:
http://www.gdal.org/NEWS.html
