Fenlon Maps: Drawing Swamps - Missing Symbols/Fill Style/Draw tool?

One of the example maps included with the January 2008 annual has several swamps. I can't find a matching drawing tool, symbol fill style or even the symbol to create these. Does anyone know where this lives?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I draw a polygon and maybe fractalize it.
The overland symbols contain, all the way at the bottom, in the vegetation symbols, some swamp trees. I use those.
What I'm looking for is a symbol that looks like it was created specifically for the Fenlon style pack (and not the default overland swamp fill) in the January 2008 annual. I can't find it in the included symbols, but it appears in the example FCW file that came with the annual.
Here's an image from the Profantasy Annual gallery that shows it in use:
On the symbol catalog, when you load that map, have you clicked o nthe left hand column, to see if they show there ?
From what I see on the map there, it looks like a modificaiton of the swamp symbol fill using varicolor.
edit:
I checked my CC3/fill symbols/vegetation vari,fsc and I see something similar to it. Not exactly though.
Instead it is a hatch style. Take a look at CC3/Hatch Styles/CA13_Swamp.FCW and you'll find it. If you check the details of the drawing "Terrain Default, Swamp", you can see that the Outline uses this hatch style.
You can create your own hatch styles. Check the "hatch styles" entry in the help files.
This causes the swamp draw tool you made to make a very plain boring polygon when used.
Off now to learn more about hatch styles, which I don't think I've ever really used...
