importing a show from file

I have a designer that sent me a file called etcshow.dat and told me that it was an Obsession II file. I am trying to load it into my (brand new) Ion. What kind of file type am I looking for? Someone mentioned that I might have to open the file in the offline editor first and then re save it to get it to import over to the Ion - however I tried that  and couldn't get it to open there either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Sam just FYI: Obsession II used Part 8 as the default part for updates (if you hit Update Enter without specifying a part in a part cue, the changes went into Part 8) but the Eos family uses Part 1 as the default part.  This can lead to some confusion down the line.

    When I import shows from Obsession, I spend a few moments in Eos cleaning them up by swapping around the parts so Part 1 becomes Part 2 (or something) and Part 8 becomes Part 1.  This may or may not be applicable to your show, but I figured I'd add it on the end.
