- David Joiner (if I remember correctly) sells a 1.3-compatible gadtools.
- For ASL, it's very similar to the ARP requester, so you could conditionally
- use ARP (or some other 1.3 requester) under 1.3, and ASL under >=2.0. Note
- that ARP doesn't work very well under 2.0 (or at least parts of it don't).
