Hi,

I am a PWB designer that uses OrCad (and others),

The *.olb is a OrCad schematic library file,
The *.dsn is the OrCad schematic design file
The *.net may be the actual ASCII version of the netlist in some 
format.  Do you know which format your customer generated it in?  You 
can view the file and the header should tell you.

Or do you have OrCad Capture so you can gen the netlist yourself?

Regards,
Brent
