IDRISI .vec file translator to ESRI shapefile format

Question

Hi there,

I've recently got hold of almost 20 years old IDRISI .vec files which I'd like to convert to ESRI shapefile. I've been struggling to find any translator for this file format so far. Does anybody know of a way to convert this type of file? Any help much appreciated!

Many thanks,

Magda

It appears ArcGIS can read .vec files directly w/o conversion. See http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/extensions/datainteroperability/index.html.
