Error Message
When attempting to convert s57 data using S57ARC command this error occurs:
Arc: s57arc Ca49995a.000 ca80
OpenInfoFile: Error opening s57.attl
Error calling OpenInfoFile
Unable to initialize Object Catalog
Bailing out of CONVS57
Cause
Missing directory and INFO files in $ARCHOME/templates/
Solution
The S-57 conversion commands: ARCS57, ENCREVISION, and S57ARC, require you to have INFO files installed in the arcexe80/template/s57 directory. These files were accidentally left off the ArcInfo workstation 8.0.1 CD-ROM for Windows NT and Alpha NT. You can find the missing files at the Support Center web site (click link below). Follow the instructions on that page to download these files.
