I just tried to do this from Paint Shop Pro, and yeah, it looks mangled,
but when I do it from Windows Paint, no problems. I just made a bitmap
in WinPaint, saved it, used PSP to set it to a 4 bit 16 gray bitmap, saved
again, then reloaded it into Paint, then copied it into Constructor.
Worked great.
