Different DSN. The DSN they support is Specctra, not OrCAD, and it's
for PCB layout data, not schematics.

The only OrCAD schematic conversion tool I could find was
sarlacc_schem, but it takes a different (older?) OrCAD binary format.

The binary file I have starts with D0 CF, so the file command reports
it as "Microsoft Office Document" or "Composite Document File V2
Document, No summary info". It looks like OrCAD based their format on
something from M$ Office - yuck...
