Importing ArcView Files
To import native ArcView files, choose the option (e.g., ArcView Shapefile,
ArcView Grid, ArcView Tin or Image) representing the type of theme to import.
HyPAS will display a menu prompting for the files to import (Figure 9-2). Choose
the files to import. HyPAS imports the data into the project. Note that the actual
