Hang on mate, I'll upload a little thingy for ya.

two options, I prefer the second link myself. It's a awesome little utility that is very well laid out especially created for SHIII, it unpacks all the Dat files contained within SHIII and creates it's own folder to store them in.

Yes, SquareSteelBar is right ... now the best program is S3D (i don't speak about HexEditor

)...
I think S3D works in Win7 ... look:
