Thanks for the MS-Paint info. I haven't noticed anything
like that thus far in my Chara sets. I don't remember too
much about where I acquired them, but my files bear dates
in the 2004 - 2005 range. (I'm guessing that Toadjumper
posted most of WIH.)
When I find time, I'll compare WIH to WYH and let you know
if I discover anything noteworthy.
