"When saving a project in ArcView or ArcMap, an *.apr (in ArcView) or =
.mxd (in ArcMap) file is saved to your computer's hard drive. *.Apr and =
.mxd files are a kind of script, telling the program what files to open =
and where they are, what extensions to load, and how to display your =
view. When you move an *.apr or .mxd file from its original directory, =
the program will no longer know where to find your data, and will prompt =
you for each file you're using. If you think you're going to be moving =
your project around a lot, you can save all your data and your project =
file to a Zip disk; then, when you move to a new computer outside of =
your lab, everything you need is in one place. NOTE: You cannot simply =
save your *.apr or .mxd file to a disk without the associated data, =
bring the disk to the library, and have your project open - everything =
used in the project is needed, including all themes and images, etc."

Assuming this info is correct, do you have the associated data? =20

Googling a bit, it seems that Arc users can save the files as E00 =
format, or some native raster format, which can then be converted using =
various utilities, or even imported into GRASS directly.
