Please note that this will be the last release that is compatible
with Java 1.4.  The next release (2.2 - sometime in the spring)
will require Java 1.5.  This will mainly affect those users
who start the IDV with Webstart since the installers already
have Java 1.5 bundled with them.

Happy New Year!

Don Murray & Jeff McWhirter
