1. Calendar data exchange file. Typically associated with Microsoft Outlook, and referred to as an iCalendar file. This file contains a calendar appointment and is used to publish and share calendar appointments.

These files appear as meeting invitations when generated and sent from Outlook to another PC that is also running Outlook.

Relevant links:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445 - RFC 2445 defines the iCalendar specification.

2. SwiftView command file. A plain text file (which can therefore be opened and viewed using any text editor), which begins with the letters "ICS" on the top line and which contains a series of ICS commands.

SwiftView recommend the use of the alternative file suffix ".zhp" for use with ICS files to avoid confusion with Microsoft Outlook iCalendar files.
