file SIMS_Patch_Graphics.exe. You can extract these files into the C:\SIMS\Graphics

You may customize the interface with your own squadron patch by replacing the
following graphics files in the C:\SIMS\Graphics folder:

Squadron Patch Small.wmf (83 x 83 pixels)
Squadron Patch Med.wmf (124 x 124 pixels)
Squadron Patch Large.wmf (166 x 166 pixels)

SIMS Also supports other graphic formats such as .jpg, .gif, and .bmp.

If you don't have a graphics program, or you don't know how to create .wmf
format files using a graphics program such as PaintShop Pro, you can send a copy
of your squadron's patch in any type of graphics file format to the author at:
BlueMesa149@msn.com and he will convert it and email you the three files needed
for the application.

SIMS can be used in a networked environment. Please refer to the SIMS Users
Guide for details on setting up SIMS in a networked or client/server
environment.
