Php & Acucobol

Please could you suggest a free-solution for opening AcuCobol (.vix) files
with PHP?
Thank you.

.VIX is the index of an indexed file, not an executable program. You need t
o launch its
reader, which is usually an AcuCobol program. To do that, launch a child pro
cess with
command line "wrun32 (program)".

If you are on Windows, you can associate that command with the .VIX extensio
n.

If the file has a data dictionary (xfds), there is a chance it is an ODBC da
ta source. In
that case, you could read it like any database. But the AcuODBC driver is no
t free.
