What is a FIC file?

FIC files mostly belong to EBP. Your FIC file is a French data file used in specialized business applications.
This file is formatted in a proprietary way to store internal company data.

It is mainly used by software from EBP in business environments.

It also appears as a database file format in some systems like Sage 100.

The internal design often relates to PC SOFT WinDev implementations.

These files are not meant for generic editors. You need the designated software to view and work with them correctly.
