APPENDIX F.  SHIMS FILES


Given below is a list of all files in SHIMS.  There may also be compiled scripts such as
SHIMS*.SC2.  These can be ignored.  The student of Paradox can look at the script files to
see how SHIMS operates.  Do not edit any script files except SHIMSINI.SC.  It is important
the all SHIMS scripts and database structures remain unchanged. It is possible to have other
tables and scripts in the SHIMS directory but these will not be supported nor updated.
