TCI file extensions hold a special place in digital file architecture with a diversity of uses. By definition, a file with the .tci extension is created for certain programs and holds data that the program uses to carry out specific operations. These files can be relevant in several different areas. This article aims to explore the potential formats and ways to utilize files with TCI file extensions.

Data Communication in Testwell CTC++

One of the primary uses of the .tci file extension is found in Testwell CTC++, a comprehensive software test tool for C and C++ languages. Here, it acts as the Intermediate Format file. It stores temporary data which are necessary for program execution. For handling files in this format, one usually requires the Testwell CTC++ itself.

TCI Interface in TRADOS

Another application of the .TCI file extension comes under TRADOS, a computer-assisted translation software suite. In this scenario, .TCI acts as the TRADOS Class Interface file. These files hold specifications for certain modules within TRADOS and are integral to its functioning. To open and use this type of TCI files, one needs the TRADOS software suite. For a deeper understanding of TRADOS and its use of TCI files, check out the official TRADOS website.

Tool Command Language

.TCI files can also be part of the TCL or Tool Command Language, an open-source, dynamic programming language. In this context, the .TCI file extension represents a TCL Include file. These files contain source code scripts written in TCL designed to be referenced by other TCL scripts. To open and run this type of .TCI files, one might need a program that supports TCL scripts like ActiveTCL. The official TCL language website (click here) provides extensive documentation on how to use the language and its respective files.
