I really felt like replying to something, so darnit, this looks as good

This is a really good suggestion and deserves an AmigaWorld Tee shirt,
but actually the fd files are for any language other than C to get
to the librarys, Jforth, M2, any of these languages use them to create
a jump table of sorts.  The jump table that AmigaBasic uses is called
a .bmap file.
