What is a .KX file?
A .KX file is a special type of file used in computer scripting. It is related to KiXtart, which is a scripting language. This kind of file is actually a tokenized version of another file type called .KIX. What this means is that the .KX file is a more compact and faster-to-process version of a script written in KiXtart. When we say a file is "tokenized," it's a bit like taking a long, detailed story and summarizing it into key points that still tell the story but much more quickly. This makes the .KX file smaller in size and allows a computer to run the script faster than the original .KIX script.
One important feature of .KX files is that they are encrypted and have a special signature. This is like putting a lock on the file and marking it with a unique stamp. The encryption helps keep the file secure, so no one can easily change what's inside it. The signature ensures that if someone tries to tamper with the file, it will be noticeable because the unique stamp won't match anymore.
To open and work with .KX files, you can use a program called File Viewer Plus, which you can download from the Microsoft store. Another way to work with these files is by using KiXtart itself, which is the program designed for creating and running these scripts.
While .KIX files, the original format, can be opened and edited with just a simple text editor because they are saved in a text format, .KX files offer more security. This is because they are not as easily editable, protecting the script from accidental or intentional changes.
You can run .KX tokenized scripts directly from the KiXtart command line or by using a command called CALL. However, if the .KX file is protected with a password, it adds an extra layer of security, meaning only those who know the password can run or make changes to the script.
