Syntax:
DBD OLD [dbd-filename]
DBD NEW [dbd-filename]
DBD COMP/options [dbd-filename] -
[tablename newcapacity ... tablename newcapacity]
Options:
A -Suppress all messages
B -Suppress all but size messages
F -Suppress generating default screens in the Application Interface
H -Skip the 'free storage' check

And the options that are synonymous with the menu choices that
occur during a DBD compile:

R -Recompile while saving and reformating data (size changes)
D -Delete old data base before creating new empty data base
N -Do not create the data base now and terminate this compile
