InstallShield is developed by Flexera. An IST file provides a starting point for an InstallShield project, allowing commonly used project settings and configuration to be reused instead of entered manually for each project.
The template is used within InstallShield's project-creation workflow. After applying the template, the resulting installation project can be edited and built using InstallShield and its normal project files.
IST is a proprietary InstallShield format intended for use with InstallShield on Microsoft Windows. It is not a general-purpose project-template format for other installation tools.
Open an IST file with InstallShield on Microsoft Windows. Use InstallShield's project or template commands to load or apply the template when creating an installation project.
An IST file is normally used as a template rather than opened as a standalone document.
There is no generally useful conversion from an IST file to another file format. The practical way to reuse its contents is to apply the template in InstallShield and save or build the resulting project in the format supported by that installation of InstallShield.

IsoStar was the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre's (CCDC) first knowledge base of intermolecular interactions. It presents interaction data as scatterplots showing the distribution of a contact group, such as an O-H donor group, around a specified central group, such as a charged carboxylate group.
An IST file contains library data for these intermolecular interactions. IsoStar displays the resulting scatterplots in a RasMol window, allowing the interaction information to be examined visually.
The associated MIME type is chemical/x-isostar.
Open the file with IsoStar, the software that uses the IsoStar interaction library format.

The ist file extension is also used by TeX, a typesetting system designed and mostly written by Donald Knuth.
Together with the METAFONT language for font description and the Computer Modern typefaces, it was designed with two main goals in mind: to allow anybody to produce high-quality books using a reasonable amount of effort, and to provide a system that would give the exact same results on all computers, now and in the future. Within the typesetting system, its name is formatted as TeX.
TeX is considered by many to be the best way to typeset complex mathematical formulae.
TeX is popular in academia, especially in the mathematics and physics communities. It has largely displaced Unix troff, the other favored formatter, in many Unix installations, which use both for different purposes. It is now also being used for many other typesetting tasks, especially in the form of LaTeX and other template packages.
