The file extension DAT (arbitrary data) is used to define files that are not associated with any particular application. There may be several reasons why you would want to convert a DAT file to an EXE file. For example, e-mail attachments are often changed to DAT files. Thus, your friend may send you an application with an EXE extension (e.g. gamerun.exe) and your e-mail provider may convert it to a DAT extension (e.g. gamerun.dat). You will thus want to convert the file back from DAT to EXE. This can be done, provided the file was originally an EXE file. Writer Bio
