.DAT files is typically a collection of compressed data, used for storage rather than as a useful app file

As far as I know mate it has images inside it

I think my mate just copied it off the cd, wouldnt have used any program to extract it as he couldnt open the file either

What's the program/file supposed to be? Is it music, a film, a game, an application?

How did you get it off the CD in the first place? Just copy the DAT file over, or did you use some other program to extract it?

Bit more info required...

Could be anything, I've seen it used for CD ISO data files.
