[X4U] Dat file extension

[LA Licata]

Daly, and all,

MSC (big hardware company) sent me their CDROM which is for windows  
only. They data file is called "addoc.dat" and based on the first  
page, that is the file I want. When I open it with Word, and save it  
as a "doc" file, the doc file is huge, but still cannot scroll past  
page 1.

Daly, the freeware utility you mentioned did not work.

Any other suggestions (except to buy a windows machine)?

What's the name of the file? There's a freeware utility that will  
open winmail.dat files. Is yours one of those?
