Schemat.bmp
Schemat.bmp is a combination of four bitmap files of schematic symbols. Those files were 
ANTSYS.PCX, RC.PCX, CIRCUITS.PCX and TRANSLOG.PCX. They were originally described by Ken 
Schofield, W1RIL, in "Schematics at Your Fingertips," QST, Oct 1993, pp 39-40.

The archive unzips to Schemat.bmp, a bitmap file of schematic symbols that can be used with 
a bitmap graphics editor (such as MSPaint) to draw schematics. To do so, open one 
instance of Paint containing Schemat.bmp and another instance to contain your schematic. 
Then, simply copy symbol bitmaps from the Schemat.bmp window and paste them into your 
schematic.
