Cisco .dat file

I am trying to view the config file for some switches and the onsite guy sent me the .dat file.  I know these are binary files for backup of the vlan, so is there a way to open them up and view them as clear text?

Thank you both.  That was the answer I was expecting.  We aren't actually trying to change the configuration yet...just review it.

I found out that if the file is opened in wordpad that it is readable.  Who knew?
