HEY!! How about posting some modified decal sheets for those of us
without Photostyler?  A usable Fonts sheet would be great, along
with some generic replacement decal sheets.  It would be up to the
user to keep the files straight, but I could live with that.  I don't think
the file size would be too objectionable for here, would it? Just this once?

The palette problem keeps screwing my attempts up - is there a
understandable explanation for this, or is it a quirk of Paintkit?
(Nascar and Indycar seem to have the same limitation).

RE: paintkit and munged colors,

your paint program is munging the palette either when loading
the .PCX file or when saving the .PCX file.  The paintkit needs
the file with the original palette.  Check with the manual for
your paint program to determine how to preserve the palette.
