Yes, I'm fixing this today. This is because I decided to deal with rounded 
rectangle corners, and didn't do it right.

I'm glad to hear that this is useful... What do you see yourself doing with 
it? Any ideas or desires?

What format can you save the stencils in? I believe Visio is scriptable; 
couldn't you just write a macro to save each stencil in some comprehensible 
(and documented) format?

For instance, if you could save as .EMF or .WMF, we could write a 
Morph-from-WMF reader.

Weren't they going to support an XML-based file format?
