How complex is your input file(s)?
ArcInfo coverage/E00 can have virtually any number of featureclasses.
However, a coverage have non-redundant geometry with only two primary
geometry sources: point and line. All other featureclasses (polygons,
nodes, multipolys, multilines etc) shares the geometry using internal
pointers but can (and will normally) have different attributes.
If I use ogr on a point-only coverage:
ogr2ogr gridp05.shp gridp05.e00
then one shapefile is created in the "working directory"
If I use ogr on a polygon coverage:
ogr2ogr grid05.shp grid05.e00
then four shapefiles (lines, polygons, labels) are created in a new
directory named grid05.shp

Thanks for the great explanation and help,
But still I couldn't solve my problem. Shape file which is generated
by ogr2ogr should be under the working directory as a file not as a
fiel under the new directory. I mean after run the command
I would like to see shape file under the working directory
f30c3.shp
f30c3.shx
f30c3.dbf
This could be done by old version but for new one as I explain it
created new directory and collect files under that directory..
I have written another script and it read data under working
directory. So I have to see files under the working directory.

Coverages, http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_avce00.html, can have multiple
different geometry types within one file. It looks like your results
include both lines and labels. A shapefile can not have multiple
geometries within one shapefile so at least one of the output
shapefiles can't have the same name. In this case ogr2ogr is
generating one for lines (ARC.shp) and one for labels (LAB.shp). This
is probably also one of the reasons that the shapefile driver treats a
directory as a dataset and shapefiles as layers within that
'dataset/directory'
