I have been asked by a client to recover data which utilises the above extensions. I can view the .dat files in notepad but with a lot of rubbish as well. How do I retrieve the data or which software/database is used to view the data?

Big thanks to anyone who can help.

It looks like it might be old Paradox files. You might be able to open it up with MS Access.
