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 to launch its
reader, which is usually an AcuCobol program. To do that, launch a child process with
command line "wrun32 (program)".

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

If the file has a data dictionary (xfds), there is a chance it is an ODBC data source. In
that case, you could read it like any database. But the AcuODBC driver is not free.
