dat is a file-ending that is used by every Dick, Tom and Harry for
their data files, there is no common, standardised data structure to
them. You need to find out what the data structure in your particular
case is (RTFM), then write a little program to parse the files and write
them out again in the format you need. Writing the program itself is
usually trivial, understanding both file formats involved ranges from
easy over laborious to impossible, depending on how good the manuals
are.
