Thanks! (to both of you)
Would you happen to know the correct stroke-order for GAI/futa (for some
reason i can receive Unicode fine usually, but i can't send it very
well)?  WWWJDIC doesn't have a link to it... it does have a third variant
besides the two you mentioned, though.  Do you know what the third
variant is for?
