ADTPro 1.1.5 released



A little help here for our clone friends: the Laser 128 can now go
full throttle at 115.2kbps, and the Franklin Ace 500 correctly auto-
selects its modem port.  The included DOS ADT program is similarly
enhanced, though experiments are still ongoing there for nibble
copying.  I also implemented the main idea behind Oliver Schmidt's
LOADER.SYSTEM to eliminate the need for a BASIC program selector,
significantly speeding up boot and launch.  Side benefit: Apple ][s
with 64k and no Applesoft in ROM now run without any modification/
renaming of files.  I left BASIC.SYSTEM on the distribution diskette
so as to not sentence everyone to ProDOS selector jail when you leave
ADTPro.
