Decode windows .dat file
I have received a file from a Windows server that in Linux hexedit shows the following first few characters.
Code:
AA 18 3C 2B  60 56 03 00  00 01 01 00

The Windows program may have received this via RS232.
I need to "understand" this on a Linux machine.
Please suggest where I may start decoding this?
