Convert DAT to NCO

What is DAT file?

The DAT file extension is used by a variety of software programs and utilities for storing data. It typically contains plain text, numeric or binary data which can be read by a wide range of software applications. Generally speaking, DAT files are not specifically tied to any one program, but rather can be created by many programs that allow users to save or send data. For example, personal information exchange files such as Windows Address Book (.wab), Outlook Storage Folder (. [ ⏩ ] DAT file extension

How to convert the file from DAT to NCO?

To successfully convert the DAT file to NCO, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DAT).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DAT to NCO. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting DAT files to NCO files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension NCO, while before this step we had the DAT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new NCO file, or not.
