I don't!  I use 0x11, 0x12, 0x13 and 0x17.  These don't appear in 
MapSource (6.15.6) but they appeared fine in the earlier version I had 
installed (which, however, had horifically slow drawing speed).  I might 
try using extended types and see if that makes any difference and/or 
switching to 6.13.7 as you've recommended elsewhere.
