Surely the person who gave you the files should be able to tell you what software generated the data. The .dat file extension is a very common extension for data files so a bit more information could save an awful lot of time and effort.

Guys:

Thank you. The problem is that the software company is not around any longer. So basically I am trying to guess the file format. The aforementioned software is running under Fedora 8.
