-iasl -d *.dat

 iasl is able to disassemble and recompile quite a lot different,
 also static ACPI tables.
 
 
-4) Where to retrieve userspace tools
-------------------------------------
+Where to retrieve userspace tools
+=================================
 
 iasl and acpixtract are part of Intel's ACPICA project:
 http://acpica.org/
+
 and should be packaged by distributions (for example in the acpica package
 on SUSE).
 
 acpidump can be found in Len Browns pmtools:
 ftp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/acpidump
+
 This tool is also part of the acpica package on SUSE.
 Alternatively, used ACPI tables can be retrieved via sysfs in latest kernels:
 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables
