Chaitanya,

This is quite possibly a tricky bug to start with, but it's worth a try. Try to step through OGRAVCE00DataSource::Open() (gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/avc/ogravce00datasource.cpp) and establish why the referenced file is not recognised and opened.

Frank,

The AVC E00 driver is not considering some of the sections in the .e00 files as layers.

In this case the whole file gnm71.e00, which contains annotation data as points, is read but at the end all the sections are disregarded since the sections containing them are not being considered as layers. This seems to be true for a few other files from the same location http://www.mass.gov/mgis/ftpgnm.htm .

The AVCE00 driver needs to be corrected. Shall I do it? I now have a lot of insight in this.

Yes, please try and extend the E00 side of things to match the set of layer types supported by the binary portion of the same driver.
