Dat File
 

Hi guys anyone know what i can open a DAT file with. whats the appopriate sofwatre. i recieved it with a few databases and im not sure what its for
please help out.:) thanks

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.

its a DAT file and its named "LINK LIST"

another quick question..whats a good program to sort databases and delete duplicates and so forth..

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.
