O que é um arquivo DCX?
A DCX file is a multi-page raster image that contains a series of .PCX images, with each image typically representing a separate page. ZSoft developed the DCX format as an extension of its PCX image format to support multiple images in a single file, commonly used to store multi-page fax documents and other scanned images.
Mais informações
DCX files were primarily used by fax, scanning, and image-processing software, particularly during the 1990s and early 2000s. Applications could store each page of a fax or scanned document as a PCX image and combine the pages into one DCX file.
The DCX file format begins with a header that identifies the locations of the individual PCX images stored within the file. Each embedded PCX image contains a separate page, allowing compatible software to move between pages without storing them as individual files.
NOTA: DCX is now considered a legacy format, with modern applications more commonly using .TIF and .PDF formats to store multi-page documents.

Visual FoxPro automatically creates DCX files when it indexes a FoxPro database.

Visual FoxPro is a data-centric programming language and database management system (DBMS) developed by Microsoft to be an updated version of the earlier FoxPro software. Microsoft released it in 1995 to allow developers to create data-driven business applications.
While most Visual FoxPro users did not encounter DCX files, they were critical to improving the efficiency of database operations, especially when dealing with large datasets. DCX files allow FoxPro to quickly locate and retrieve data, reducing the time required for searches and data manipulation.
NOTA: Microsoft officially discontinued Visual FoxPro in 2007.
