Adam,

A file ending in .sas is a sas program (ascii) and can be opened with
any text editor.  I assume you mean .sas7bdat (or earlier versions of
SAS datasets).

You could export sas datasets with data translation software such as
DBMSCopy or StatTransfer.  A trial version could be downloaded for
testing, but you will need to pay for the fully functional versions.
