Aha- thank you for catching that. The Altium importer still doesn't like it- "importing files in Binary format requires Cadence Allegro on system... If Cadence Allegro is not available, please use the ASCII(*ALG) file format instead."

I will hunt around for an Allegro installation (or DB Doctor, whatever that might be); in the meantime, is the EK-10M08E144 layout available in any other file types or versions? I would love to have this as a reference; nobody wants to do another board spin because I messed up a detail.
