I have an old application that stores data in unknown .hat files. It's not working properly now. Probably there's a limitation. So we want to extract the data and convert it into any usable general format, MS Excel, XML, SqlLite, or any other popular format. While de-compiling the .exe file, I found out it's written in Delphi 3. All you have to do. is to tell us how is the data stored. And how can we recover it. And we'll do the rest.

Hello. I have years of experience of Delphi programming as well as software reverse engineering. Could you provide the required software and datafiles for analysis? The software should not be missing any DLL or any prefedined data files. This will be required for debugging the software. Thank you. Regards, Jaelani C. Utomo
