Are these coming from a Mac to a PC and are they very small? If so they
probably contain creator type and other info and no image. Some e-mail
programs will split PS files this way if the settings are incorrect.

Lemme guess: You have been emailed some Photoshop files, and when you receive
the email, you see nothing but a file name ending in .DAT.

The person who emailed you the file is using Microsoft Outlook Express or
Outlook, and has set up the program to use "rich text" format for messages.
This causes the message and all attachments to be encoded in the proprietary
TNEF format.

Talk to whoever sent you the files. Explain that that person needs to send out
email in PLAIN TEXT, not Rich Text, format.
