I have confirmed that my Chara sets 01 through 04
are from Toadjumper. I am missing these files as
well.

I'll work Chara-03 into tomorrow's queue.

In this case, it is best for me to make a
CSV of WIH, so we can compare collections.
(The!Checker has a function that allows 2
CSVs to be compared, and will allow us to
quickly 'zero-in' on the files that are
different.)

It will indeed take a while to make a CSV,
as I have indices saved in the same folders
as my sets. Those do not belong in the CSV,
and will need to be weeded out.
