 From my limited knowledge of computers, I understand that WaveSurfer is
using libraries called Tcl/Tk to draw its windows. The latest WaveSurfer
(1.8.3) comes with Tcl/Tk versions 8.4.9, which indeed works only on
10.3 and later. There is a version (8.4.1) of Tcl/Tk that works on 10.1
(see http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net), but I don't expect it's enough
to install it to make WaveSurfer work. However maybe you should try to
contact the developper (I don't see an email, but there's the WaveSurfer
forum) to get an older version. The WaveSurfer website (under /download)
states that older versions are available, but you have to know their
name to be able to download them. And of course you need to know which
one would work with 10.1.
