Pls help
The problem is that so many different programs use ".dat" that it really doesn't tell you anything about the file, what it contains, or what program it belongs to. There is no standard format, there is no standard way to interpret the contents. ".dat" is only a name and nothing more. Find out what kind of data is in the file. Do a cat on the dat file for example and try to find out what it is.
About reading your CD you can refer to:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...t/t0008850.htm
In short:
- Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.
- If the Volume Manager (vold) is running on your system, the 3 CD-ROM is automatically mounted as /cdrom/cd_label if the CD has a label or /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom if it is unlabeled.
If the Volume Manager is not running on your system, complete the following steps to mount the CD-ROM:
Determine the name of the device by entering the following command:
ls -al /dev/sr* |awk '{print "/" $11}'
This command returns the name of the CD-ROM device. In this example, the command returns the string /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2. Enter the following commands to mount the CD-ROM:
mkdir -p /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom
