There was an unofficial but carefully crafted version of 1.3.1 in July
2003.  Thereafter, because of continually evolving tools used with
current operating systems, no-one has had the tools to prepare pre OS-X
versions (for these purposes, OS 9 is no longer counted as current). 

I had my copy of the unofficial 1.3.1 from

www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/wamcom/20030723/wamcom-131-macos9-20030723.sit

I also had the read-me direct from

http://wamcom.org/20030721/README-and-MD5.asc

It includes

I find it useful for tackling stuff from ill-disciplined MS-based
web-page editors when both iCab 2.9.7 and Internet Explorer 5.1.7 are
defeated.  As a cross-platform application, inter-operability for
Mozilla was given a lot of attention.
