You on windows or UNIX?

If you just need to see what's inside either Notepad it (windowz), or VI it (unix).

Then again, don't know much about .dat files.

Dis file or Dat file?

Really depends on its associated application as it isn't a "standard" that's the same across the board with all apps.

The vast majority of Dat files are binary, and notepad or VI isn't going to show you shat.

yea. figured.
only thing my lazy ass finds on google is about email attachments having "*.dat" in them. which doesn't sound like a "database" file as described in the original post.
