Nope, can't do that, most of my portfolio is used by permission, I can show
it, can't distribute it in any way - including e-mailing it to someone who
wants to peruse my pristine coding.
Moreover, decompiling a help file probably will not produce pristine coding,
in any case.

Requesting that candidates e-mail you electronic files of all submissions in
addition to any submitted in hard copy should do it, don't you think?

I'm a bit of a "under the hood" kinda guy - sloppy or inefficient HTML,
manual formatting in Word, that sort of thing - drives me nuts. Therefore,
when I interview candidates, I'd like to see the code underneath the writing
samples they provide. I think this will help me estimate their "technical"
expertise <sp?> in the tools we use here.
