Solaris Browser data
File type: Various data file
A bd file contains data used by Solaris Browser, the source-browser component of Solaris development tools.
The file is generated by the compiler when the SourceBrowser option is enabled during compilation.
Found 2 different file type records with the same bd filename suffix.

The bd file extension is used for browser data created by Solaris Browser. The data supports browsing source code and is produced by the compiler when the SourceBrowser option is selected.
These files are normally stored with related index files in a .SB directory. The directory is created in the current working directory from which the compiler is called.
This is a legacy Solaris development-tool format intended for use with Solaris Browser rather than as a general-purpose data format.
Open a bd file with Solaris Browser. It is normally used together with the related index files in its .SB directory.
A bd file is an internal browser-data file and does not have a useful general-purpose conversion format. Solaris Browser uses it together with its index files.
The browser data can usually be regenerated by recompiling with the SourceBrowser option enabled.

The BD file extension identifies an older Amiga music format associated with Ben Daglish. It is not a conventional desktop audio recording; the file contains music data designed to be played by an Amiga music routine.
BD files belong to the software or game environment that uses the routine. They are associated with classic Amiga software and can be used through Amiga Forever, Cloanto's Amiga emulation and preservation software for Microsoft Windows.
This is a legacy format and is not commonly used by current audio applications. Playback generally depends on the original Amiga software or a compatible Amiga environment.
On Microsoft Windows, open the file with Amiga Forever if it belongs to an Amiga program or game supported by that environment. The file may need to be placed where the original Amiga software expects to find it rather than opened as a standalone audio file.
If the associated Amiga software is unavailable, a general-purpose audio player is unlikely to recognise the BD file.
There is no generally applicable modern audio converter for this legacy Amiga format. A BD file contains Amiga music data rather than a standard audio recording.
To create a modern audio file, play the music in the original Amiga software or in an Amiga environment such as Amiga Forever and record the resulting audio with suitable recording software.
