The TDS file extension stands for Borland Turbo Debugger symbol table file. It is a type of text file used to store debugging capabilities for Turbo Debugger, a 16-bit debugger designed to debug programs written in languages such as C, C++, and Pascal. The information contained in the TDS file provides a link between the program code and the debugging instructions including module descriptions, call trees, and symbol tables.
Technical Details
TDS files are commonly categorized as developer files and are readable by anyone familiar with computer programming code. These files can be opened and edited using programs such as Borland C/C++ Compiler, CodeGear C++ Builder, and Microsoft Visual Studio. TDS files can be stored in both stand-alone stores or within a larger Borland project file ( TCP, IDE, etc.). Since Turbo Debugger is no longer actively developed or maintained, most programs that open a TDS file are designed to open legacy files.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TDS) 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 .TDS 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 .TDS 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 .TDS 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 .TDS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TDS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TDS 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 .TDS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TDS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TDS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
