DAT files?

I can't seem to find it here. What do the DAT files in the info folder do (misc.dat, units.dat, and so on)? It's really not evident from looking at them

They are the data files for all of the parameter values within the game.  When you open an editor, all of the values you see are stored in the DAT files.  Lethality, penetration, all of the weapon and terrain parameters, etc.

Not those .dat files, the ones in the Info folder. Like units.dat which has a series of numbers in it. The numbers in units.dat seem to match the pictures in units.bmp in some way.
