    OK, by adding an *.asc suffix to the file I can get it to open in QGIS as a 1 band raster, with the default project projection. But I would like to associate the dbf information with it, presuming that there is more information here. Commented Sep 19, 2011 at 7:05

    A .dbf file is not a standard part of an ASCII grid format. Why don't you just open the .dbf file (with a spreadsheet, database, or GIS program) and see what's in it? Commented Sep 19, 2011 at 15:06
  • Hi W, the dbf seems to be some sort of key VALUE MAP_UNIT 1.00000 Undefined 2.00000 A1 3.00000 A10 4.00000 A11 5.00000 A12 6.00000 A13 7.00000 A14 8.00000 A15 9.00000 A16 Commented Sep 20, 2011 at 11:51
  • Ah! It must be an attribute table. It is meant to be joined to the grid values. Commented Sep 20, 2011 at 15:08
  • Not much luck with QGIS, I had fair crack at it with GRASS but still need the attribute data to be tied in there somehow. I'll work on your suggestions. Commented Nov 22, 2011 at 23:44
