Data Interchange Format (dif) and ADO.NET

[=?Utf-8?B?S3VydA==?=]

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a simple way to convert a Data
Interchange Format (.dif) file
(see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Interchange_Format) into a dataset
using the native ADO.Net tools. I noticed that the format seems to be handled
by excel, but I have not found a way to open the file using any of the
ADO.net APIs..?

Thanks for any ideas..?
