ACUCOBOL-GT (Index File) by Acucorp, Inc.
Acucorp offers an open systems COBOL, ACUCOBOL-GT, that lets you write a program once, and run it on virtually any operating system platform without recompiling. This is achieved using a pseudocode system. Rather than producing native code for a single platform, our compiler produces a small, independent object that can be placed on any open-systems machine. At runtime, the object is executed by a native runtime executable. The identifying characters used for this association are - Hex: 10 12 14 18 00 04 00 00 00.
ViX

VIX file format:

To view or edit VIX files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the VIX files:

How to solve problems with VIX files

Associate the VIX file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open index files. Because only the current version supports the latest VIX file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Sage ACCPAC update.
To make sure that your VIX file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
