E00compr

E00Compr is an Open Source (i.e. Free!) ANSI-C library to compress and uncompress Arc/Info Export (E00) files.

The C library can be easily plugged into existing E00 translators to add support for compressed E00 files simply by replacing the existing translator's read/write function by the E00ReadNextLine() and E00WriteNextLine() functions provided by the library. See the library documentation for all the details.

For those who do not need a library but simply want to convert some files, the package includes the "E00CONV" conversion program that allows you to convert a E00 file to and from any compression level (NONE, PARTIAL or FULL).

The latest version of the library is version 1.0.1 from February 24, 2009.
