Load sybase .db into new sybase developer server

We've got a few .db files laying around here which were created by Sybase (version 8.x, I guess) and I've the task to extract some data from those old databases.

Now I've installed the latest Sybase developer version (15.7) and want to add these databases to the sybase server.

Unfortunately I do not have any experience with sybase and I couldn't find any documentation in the official sybase manual for this task.

Is this even possible? Does anyone of you know about an article describing the integration of existing complete databases or the necessary commands for the task?

Your DB files are SQLAnywhere files, so first you will need to get SQLAnywhere. Sybase has some documentation on upgrading databases from earlier versions here.
