Index file created by dtSearch, a program used for text searching; contains index search information, including filters, exclusions, locations, and crawl depth; used to direct searches and filter search results. IX files are saved in an XML format and are named using the following convention, where "X" is a character chosen by dtSearch: index_X.ix. dtSearch is available in the following versions:
The IX file extension is used to signify index files in the FrameMaker indexing program. IX files can be accessed and edited with the appropriate software.
The file extension IX is the FrameMaker Index File. In the program FrameMaker, creations of customized, long, and complex indexes, are allowed without any other indexing program. These are the index markers in your document, which FrameMaker inserts, with the index entry text saved in the .ix file extension.Index markers in the FrameMaker are not viewed in the document body, and editing the contents of a marker requires using the Marker dialog box. The plug-in IXgen for FrameWork is responsible in compiling the files in the IX file extension, into a table in the FrameMaker. The text markers in the IX file extension, which are edited, will be seen at the very bottom of the column. With the IXgen plug-in, the re-population of the edited files is done when 'Apply Edited Marker' is selected to activate the changes.
The IX file extension is associated with Corel WordPerfect, a word processing program, developed by Corel Corporation. Corel Word Perfect is part of Corel Word Perfect Office suite. The .ix files contain templates for Corel WordPerfect Office.
file extension IX - Modula-3 Linker information file.Modula-3 is a programming language conceived as a successor to an upgraded version of Modula-2. While it has been influential in research circles (influencing the designs of languages such as Java and C#), it has not been adopted widely in industry. It was designed by Luca Cardelli, Jim Donahue, Mick Jordan, Bill Kalsow and Greg Nelson at the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Systems Research Center (SRC) and Olivetti in the late 1980s. Its design was heavily influenced by work on the Modula-2+ language in use at SRC at the time, which was the language in which the operating system for the DEC Firefly multiprocessor VAX workstation was written. As the revised Modula-3 Report states, the language was also influenced by other languages such as Mesa, Cedar, Object Pascal, Oberon and Euclid. Modula-3's main features are simplicity and safety while preserving the power of a systems-programming language. Modula-3 aimed to continue the Pascal tradition of type safety, while introducing new constructs for practical real-world programming. In particular Modula-3 added support for generic programming (similar to templates), multithreading, exception handling, garbage collection, object-oriented programming, partial revelation and encapsulation of unsafe code. The design goal of Modula-3 was a language that implements the most important features of modern imperative languages in quite basic forms. Thus allegedly dangerous and complicating features like multiple inheritance and operator overloading were omitted.
The IX file extension is related to Pidgin instant messenger and used for some sort of settings file.
