I have a description on my website on the DAT format (that is it's differences from DBF files). You may be able to use it, but it requires some low-level messing with the binary structure and at some point you have to guess, because the format doesn't contain all the needed information. The rest is in the TAB file !
Find it here: www.routeware.dk/download/mapinfo(dat).zip A good starting point is to rename to DBF, open it with MapInfo and see if any changes are needed. There will probably be.
