The file contains the Netscape plugin for PHYSICON Interactive. Netscape Navigator loaded this type of file to provide the related interactive functionality.
The .sms file is identified with the simscript/x-scpsim-v2 MIME type. It was intended for Netscape Navigator on Microsoft Windows rather than for current web browsers or general-purpose file viewers.
Netscape Navigator and its legacy plugin system are discontinued, so this format is no longer in common use.
On Microsoft Windows, open this file with the original Netscape Navigator installation and its PHYSICON Interactive plugin, if available. The file is generally used by the software rather than opened directly.
Current web browsers do not support the legacy Netscape plugin system. Do not expect the file to open as a document in a modern browser or standard application.
This plugin file is not a document format and has no usual conversion to another format. No general-purpose converter is expected to preserve its functionality.
To use the associated interactive content, retain the original PHYSICON Interactive files and the compatible Netscape Navigator environment instead of converting the .sms file.

Wargus is a game engine and data port for Warcraft II, the real-time strategy game originally released for Microsoft MS-DOS. The .sms file contains a campaign map for use in Wargus or Stratagus.
The map data describes the game map and the campaign scenario associated with it. It is used together with the other data files required by the Wargus/Stratagus installation, rather than as a standalone document.
This format belongs to the Wargus/Stratagus version of the game and is not normally opened directly by the original MS-DOS release of Warcraft II. On Microsoft Windows, it is used by Wargus and compatible Stratagus-based installations.
Install Wargus on Microsoft Windows and place the .sms file in the map or campaign data location expected by that installation. Start the game and select the associated campaign or scenario.
The original MS-DOS version of Warcraft II does not normally open this Wargus/Stratagus map file directly.
There is no general-purpose conversion for an .sms campaign map file. It is a game resource, not a document format intended for export.
To use the map in another game or map format, use a Wargus/Stratagus-compatible map editor or conversion tool that specifically supports the relevant scenario. Renaming the file extension does not convert the map.
