💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

v.in.e00 imports ASCII and binary E00 vector maps into GRASS. that's the vibe. that's the mission. slay. 💅

🔥 NOTES 🔥

okay so LISTEN, this is the important part 🫶

Sometimes an .e00 coverage consists of multiple files, where a single data set is contained as a series of files named filename.e00, filename.e01, filename.e02 etc. The user must take care to download them all — the scripts automatically detects the presence of such multiple files.

so like… download every single one of them, don't be out here grabbing only filename.e00 and wondering why your data looks cursed 😭 the script auto-detects when the multi-file situation is happening, so she's got you — but only if you actually brought all the pieces. no cap. 🦋
