The eas file extension belongs to OS/2, an operating system for IBM PC-compatible computers developed by IBM.
The eas file stores extended file attributes used by OS/2. These attributes are additional metadata associated with files and directories and are separate from their ordinary file contents.
OS/2 manages this data as part of its file system environment. OS/2 and this format are obsolete, so new eas files are unlikely to be created on current operating systems.
An eas file is normally handled by OS/2 rather than opened as a document. An OS/2 system with access to the relevant file system may be able to read the attributes, but ordinary modern applications generally cannot display them.
Do not edit or rename this system file when preserving an OS/2 installation, because its contents may be needed to retain the associated extended attributes.
There is no generally useful conversion from an eas file to another document format. Its contents are OS/2 file metadata, not independent user data.
To preserve the information, keep the file with the related OS/2 files and use an OS/2-compatible file-system or backup process. If only the metadata is needed, it must be extracted by software that understands OS/2 extended attributes.

The eas file extension is associated with the RSLogix, a design and configuration program for Logix5000 controllers, available for Microsoft Windows.
The eas file stores XML symbol data used by RSLogix.
Use RSLogix to work with *.eas files.
Probably cannot be converted to anything else.
