.VIS File Extension

Script created by Visual Importer, a data conversion application; saves in a plain text format and stores data conversion settings recorded from the software's wizard walkthrough process; transforms data between source and destination formats when run in the software.

VIS scripts save information such as the source data format (plain text, MS Access, MySQL, .CSV, etc.) as well as the destination format. They can also save database connection information and rules for converting data between database records, spreadsheet cells, and plain text.

NOTE: VIS files are also referred to as "VImp" files.

Image information format developed for simulation purposes that includes scenery and maps; used by video games, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 95 and 98 and other flight simulation programs.

VIS files are saved in a text format that may be viewed in a text editor. However, they typically should not be opened or edited by the user.
