I've got a new client that keeps sending me a copy of their MySQL 
directory from their server instead of a proper backup of the MySQL 
database.

Are these files of any use to me?  Is there a way to force my MySQL 
installation to recognize these files as belonging to their installation?

The directory is filled with *.MYD, *.MYI, *.frm files plus a db.opt file.

I'm speaking to their network administrator and he doesn't know anything 
about MySQL and he wasn't at a machine to walk him through backing up 
his db.  Frustrating.  I guess they're not backing up their database at 
all, eh?
