- Alright, I've been through the stack, I've done the stuff to find Clarus...
- but...all I got were blank windows! TN 31 wasn't in my TN Stack! (As in, I
- got the series of three windows that say MooF1, MooF2, MooF3, but they were
- all blank. I realize TN 31 isn't findable normally...) Do I need
- a developer CD to see it?
- (Also, where's the MooV? Haven't seen that one around...)
