.BDL files are not something that a user creates. They are actually
created by DOE-2 during the course of reading in a .INP file. The .BDL
file contains quite a bit more information because DOE-2 adds default
and referenced library component data (and errors and warnings) to what
is present in the .INP file.<br>
So, if it is only a .BDL file that has been truncated in some way, you
should not be missing anything that you have created at all. The
question is, are your principle project files still OK (.PD2 (wizard
and project), .INP (DOE-2 model) & .PRD (parametric run data)).<br>
