Hello Otis, I do agree with Otis that somebody, preferably Erik, would provide a more detailed list of reasons why 1.3 does not run on Java 1.2. This list could then be used by others to adapt the code of version 1.3+ in order to make it run for their individual purposes (if this is necessary).
The information provided in the CHANGES file is a good start but I am sure some more information on the technical side would help (e.g. classes and methods effected, changed in data structures, etc.). I think Erik would perhaps be in the best position to do that since he knows all the insides of this excellent piece of Open Source - almost everybody of us whould spend months to find out what he already knows.
