International S-57 hydrographic data electronic navigation chart (.001) can be certainly opened/viewing in ArcGIS, so perhaps data from these files can be used in new or existing ArcView projects, or used for some other purposes.
Unfortunately, we have not found any specific information about 001 to adf conversion, so if you need help with some particular problem, it would be best to contact ESRI/ArcGIS support or some online commonity for help.
