What is the purpose of the .dat file?

Sometimes, but not always, when creating a .twd file, a file with the extension .dat is also created. What is its purpose, and should I be concerned?

The ".dat" file is used for a face frame processor that Thermwood offered at one time. If you do not have this piece of equipment, then this file is not useful in anyway.

Thanks, that puts my mind at ease (and also explains why it only shows up sometimes)
