The files for Nalimov's endgame tablebases are available at
http://www.uib.no/people/pfvaf/chesslib/Nalimov.htm but I don't know
how to extract the data. What is the format of the data (or where can
I find it) so that I can write a program to extract the data?

Replace you know what by "j" to email.

You can just copy all the files, as they are, into one directory in
your C:\ Tablebases and specify the tb-path in the ChssBase.ini file
in your windows directory.

Add something like this manually with a text editor:

[Tablebase]
Path=C:\Tablebases
CacheSizeKB=16384

It will take time to copy, days...perhaps weeks depending upon your
schedule. It took me a month because I took my time.
