The BDC file extension belongs to the SmartWare Word Processor for Microsoft Windows. A BDC file contains backup data from the word processor rather than a document intended for general-purpose use.
SmartWare uses this type of file to preserve Word Processor data so it can be recovered if the original working data is lost or damaged. The file is therefore part of the SmartWare Word Processor's backup and recovery process.
This is a legacy format, and support outside SmartWare may be limited.
Open or restore the .bdc file in the SmartWare Word Processor on Microsoft Windows. Use SmartWare's backup or recovery commands rather than opening the file as an ordinary document.
If SmartWare is not installed, a compatible installation of the software may be required to read the backup data.
A BDC backup file is not normally converted directly by a general-purpose converter. Restore it in the SmartWare Word Processor first.
After recovery, save or export the resulting document from SmartWare to a format supported by that software, if an export option is available.
