About:
AVCE00 is a command-line utility and library that converts between proprietary Arc/Info binary vector coverages and the open E00 interchange format. It enables users to access legacy GIS data without requiring expensive Arc/Info software licenses. This tool is essential for data migration, archival restoration, and interoperability between modern and legacy GIS systems.

Key Features:

Bidirectional conversion between binary coverages and E00 format
Standalone operation without Arc/Info license requirements
C library and command-line tools for integration into workflows
Supports both version 4 and version 5 binary coverage formats

Use Cases:

Migrating legacy Arc/Info binary data to modern GIS platforms
Converting proprietary coverages to open E00 for archival purposes
Sharing GIS data with organizations lacking Arc/Info software

Alternatives:

OGR/GDAL – More comprehensive GIS translation toolkit, but may not handle all legacy Arc/Info binary formats as specifically as AVCE00
