ESRI ArcExplorer ArcExplorer is a lightweight GIS data viewer developed by ESRI. This freely available software offers an easy way to perform basic GIS functions.

An .e00 (E-zero-zero) file is an ArcInfo coverage converted into an ASCII text file intended for exchange between two ArcInfo systems on different platforms. They are not intended for compression, but they have become popular as exchange files. To convert an .e00 file to an ArcInfo coverage, download the FREE ArcExplorer 1.1 Import Utility. If you have ESRI ArcView GIS use the Import71 utility.
