PADS-format ASCII netlist file (.asc) provides all the information about the
board, such as footprints, traces, keepouts, board outline, rules, grid sizes,
colors, or other information. The Export command (on PowerPCB) selectively
extracts data from the open .pcb file and saves it into .asc format.

Or, you could find out what is in the file and generate the Allegro
equivalent. I don't think that there are any files that any system
generates that all of the other systems don't also generate.
It is just a matter of finding out what is in them.
Check with the assembler and find out what the file does,
have them send you an old one and look at it.
Allegro probably can generate a file with the same stuff already.
Good luck,
