File extension bws is most likely best known for its use for one of the default file types in Blindwrite dsic backup and burning solution.
A .bws file represents one of the auxiliary file for the main disc image format and contains so subchannel data. The subchannel data is used to store extra information in. This can be part of a protection (a digital ID is stored) or simply to add extra info to a disc like CD-Text for audio discs. Some protections that use subchannel data are SecuROM, LibCrypt (PlayStation) and LaserLock.
These filles are automatically loaded with the BlindWrite disk image (.bwi for example).
You can only convert disc images as whole, not just the individual files.

Bookmark Wizard is a small Microsoft Windows program with a wizard-like interface. It creates an HTML page from all or selected links stored in the Internet Favorites folder.
The BWS file extension identifies a Bookmark Wizard settings file. The file stores settings used by the program when generating the HTML page.
Open a BWS file with Bookmark Wizard on Microsoft Windows. The file is intended to be used by the program rather than opened as a document in a web browser.
A BWS file does not normally need conversion. Use Bookmark Wizard to open the settings file and generate an HTML page from all or selected Internet Favorites links.
The resulting HTML page can be used separately, but it is an output document rather than a converted BWS file.

The BWS file extension is used for a ROM binary file for a KS32C6200 demo board.
The format is rare and is associated with development hardware for the KS32C6200 demo board.
A BWS file is not normally opened as a document. Use compatible programming or download software for the KS32C6200 demo board, if available, to load the image into the board's ROM.
A hex editor can display the file's raw bytes, but it will not interpret the ROM image or run its contents.
A BWS file generally cannot be meaningfully converted to a common desktop format. Converting it to text or another binary format may make it unusable as a ROM image.
To create a different board image, use the original embedded-development project and its build tools to produce the required ROM binary for the target hardware.

SmartWare is a programming platform built on the FairCom database engine. It also includes word-processing, spreadsheet, and communication modules.
The BWS file extension identifies a worksheet backup created by the SmartWare spreadsheet module. The file is intended to preserve worksheet data for use within SmartWare rather than to serve as a general-purpose spreadsheet interchange format.
SmartWare is available for Microsoft Windows. A BWS file therefore normally requires the corresponding SmartWare software to restore or use its worksheet contents.
Open or restore the .bws file in SmartWare on Microsoft Windows. Use the spreadsheet module's backup or restore function rather than treating the file as a regular spreadsheet document.
A BWS file is a SmartWare-specific backup and is not normally converted directly with a general-purpose file converter.
To obtain a different format, restore the backup in SmartWare and export or save the resulting worksheet using an output format supported by that installation.
