Accessing Legacy Tubo Pascal data

First, let me apologize if this is the wrong forum to ask this question. I
did not see one that might be more appropriate, but if there is one please
point me to it.
I have a client who has an application written in Turbo Pascal 5.5. The
output is written to a .DAT file. Some of the output was numeric and stored
as REAL and INTEGER numbers, other items were CHAR. Is there some tool or
utility I can use to access the current data or to migrate the data in the
.DAT file to another data format to make it accessible to more recent
vintage applications? I do have a hard copy of the code so I can recreate
the type declarations.
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Wart, I suggest that the right forum is
borland.public.delphi.language.delphi.win32
If you post there I and others will provide more help.
It would help it you would show a sample of your
file type and/or record definitions.
