Why on earth are you asking for outdated software versions?
Any self-respecting HRcritter should know that the current version
of Clawsite is 0.0.0.4f, and it's demeaning to be expected to be
familiar with old stuff.

And I didn't see a location in your SUBJECT title.  Do you really expect
us to read all the way to the 13th paragraph to find out you're in some
little town on the other side of the last gas station in rural Alfalfa?

Finally, knowing that you are professional enough to maintain a positive
attitude in the face of irrelevant abuse, I am sending you the cover page and
hairball.  The complete set of everything I ever wrote would fill up 3 slabs of
shale, so I inscribed it on the head of a pin.  Your company  -does-  keep
up with the latest technology, doesn't it?
