What is an EAS file?

EAS files mostly belong to RSLogix by Rockwell Automation. EAS file extension is associated with the RSLogix application developed by Rockwell Automation.

Main Use: RSLogix is an IEC-1131-compliant application that is used for creating programmable controller documentation. The EAS data file that is used by this software stores information in an ASCII-delimited format. The EAS file saves the address symbols as well as descriptions for a documentation database. The EAS file can be utilized for referencing and looking up common symbols in documents. RSLogix software for Windows can be obtained by downloading the software from the Rockwell Automation website.
Other Uses: EAS files are also associated with the OS/2 operating system developed by IBM (International Business Machines). The EAS file contains commands and instructions for the installation and functioning of various programs. The EAS files contain the data in a text format and can be opened on Windows using text editor programs such as WordPad, Notepad, or Microsoft Word and macOS programs such as Apple TextEdit, TextMate, Apple Pages, or Microsoft Word. On Linux machines, EAS programmable files can be used by AbiWord, gEdit, OpenOffice Writer, and Vim.

How to open an EAS file

You need a suitable software like RSLogix to open an EAS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your EAS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a EAS file directly in the browser:.

EAS 2004 Applicant (reference database file) by UCAS
UCAS is the central organisation that processes applications for full-time undergraduate courses at UK universities and colleges. This is a JET (Joint Engine Technology) database. This file format is classified as Database.
Elite Visual Basic API Spy (reference database file) by UCAS
UCAS is the central organisation that processes applications for full-time undergraduate courses at UK universities and colleges. This is a Jet database. This file format is classified as Database.
OS/2 Extended File Attributes
OS/2 attributes are stored within a single EAS file located in the root directory for compatibility with other operating systems using the FAT partition. This file is usually inaccessible while the disk is handled by an operating system that supports extended attributes, but can be freely manipulated under for instance, DOS. This file format is classified as Data.

EAS format details:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Below is our analysis of the EAS files:

EAS is rarely used as a file extension and is used by different programs with different formats. The two most common formats are as follows:

35% of all EAS files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "SctHdr" at the beginning. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. A typical file size is 8 MB. It is a modern file type. The following keywords are characteristic: Directory, Header, Patient, SctHdr, EventList and DcDevices. Such files are related to person-related data.
15% of all EAS files start with the magic bytes A EAS09, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files contain text and words, not binary data. EAS files are between 7.6 KB and 13 KB in size.

All other EAS files (50%) have different formats, such as ZIP and DST. Tagged as data. Just click the "Choose your .eas file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your EAS file is.
