How to open BUN file in Platinum?

I discovered an old project that I bucked up as a bun file with an earlier 2001 release of Cakewalk.  How do I open it in SONAR Platinum?

A process can not be understood by stopping it. One must flow with it and become one.

    Just double click the file entry in file explorer if it asks for a program use sonar if not already the default program for .bun files.

    You can also open it from the Sonar file menu.

    Yes it will open .BUN files as well as old .wrk files dating back to PA 9.

    Yup, I've opened some very old .wrk files in SONAR with no real issues.   One of the benefits of these old files is that they tend to have very little in the way of plugin usage, since horsepower was in short supply back then!

    I posted in another bun thread that I opened a CWB from April '03 with Platinum yesterday.  Double clicked the name in File Explorer
     
    It opened with no problems.  I did get messages about DR-008, Timeworks and LSPro not being found, but that was no surprise.
