DAT Files

Could someone please tell me how would it possible to explore .DAT files? I
got a DAT file which upon opening with notepad says it has other DAT files
inside it, which have some INI files inside themselves. Any way possible for
me to retreieve those INI files?

Re: DAT Files

It depends. What is the original program that created the .DAT file? .DAT
files can be data files created by a certain program, or something else. A
lot of programmers use the .DAT extension for data files.

Re: DAT Files

You might want to contact the people that made the game. It looks like a
small developer company, with the contacts on
http://www.rpgwo.com/contact%20us.html. There would be no way for us to
really find out without downloading the game, and creating the DAT file and
basically reverse engineering it. One way you can try is possibly a hex
editor, but that is fairly complicated.
