What is a .DSC file?
A .DSC file is a special kind of file that is used by a program called WPS Office, which used to be known as Kingsoft Office. WPS Office is a set of tools for doing office work on a computer and includes things like Writer (for writing documents), Spreadsheets (for working with numbers and tables), and Presentation (for creating slideshows).
The .DSC file is not a document or a spreadsheet itself, but rather a settings file. This means it keeps track of how certain things in the program are set up. Specifically, it is used by something called the Design Science Equation Editor. This is a tool within WPS Office that lets you create and edit mathematical equations.
What the .DSC file does is remember how you had the Equation Editor set up last time you used it. For example, it remembers the size of the window you had the editor open in, what the interface (the way the program looks) was like, and how much you had zoomed in or out to see the equation better. This way, when you open the Equation Editor again, it can start up exactly how you like it, without you having to set everything up again.
To open a .DSC file, you would use WPS Office. Since the .DSC file is tied to the settings of the Equation Editor, it's not something you open and edit directly like a text document or a presentation. Instead, it works in the background, making sure the Equation Editor is just how you want it when you're working on equations in your documents, spreadsheets, or presentations.
