Solve : retrieve data from an application?

1.	Solve : retrieve data from an application?
Answer» I have no programming knowledge but was given a group of files created in 1997 that together make up a FULLY functioning very basic custom invoicing program. With this program you can view invoices and create NEW ones. It is only controlled by keyboard functions. These are the files COMPRISING this program: index.dat shipping.dat invoice.dat work.dat customer.dat items.dut cccdb3.exe While I know how to use the program to view existing customer invoices, what I need to do is retrieve the data stored in the application for EXPORTING into a different program such as microsoft access. How do I retrieve the data stored?What was the program? DOS did not have real data base manager. So the type DAT has meaning only to the program that created it. Was it part of the PC-WRITE family of programs? you data most probably are your *.dat files. check to see if they are readable.
