The RLD (Norton Commander Temporary) file extension ( .RLD) is a temporary file, which is created by the Norton Commander, a discontinued file manager for DOS developed by the Symantec Corporation. It is used as a backup in case of application failure and acts as a backup of the original file.
The Norton Commander Temporary File stores all the temporary files created by the Norton Commander application, including previously deleted files as well as the updated version of recently changed files. The temporary files created with this extension help preserve vital data that may otherwise be lost while the application fails. There are many similar file extensions associated with Norton Commander, all of which are used for temporary purposes, like .CFG, QWK, .BAK, and .SDA.
Underlying Technical Process
The Norton Commander Temporary File is run through an algorithmic process to generate local data through the runtime libraries of the DOS operating system. The combination of program invocation and memory mapping of the internal buffer creates a runtime environment that corresponds to the original file. It then saves this data into an external file with the .RLD file extension.
Conclusion
The RLD (Norton Commander Temporary) file extension ( .RLD) helps users to recover their lost data when their application fails. This file type also serves as a backup for modified or deleted files, allowing users to retrieve lost material. Although rarely used today, this type of file can provide users with a much needed safety net in case of emergency.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RLD) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RLD extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RLD file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RLD extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RLD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RLD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RLD file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RLD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RLD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RLD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
