Ok, final iteration before real release posted:
http://adtpro.sourceforge.net

New functionality:

    * The client will scan slots for communications devices
    * Included DOS ADT similarly enhanced to scan for serial ports
    * Added a simple Applesoft menu when booting the distribution
diskette
    * Added an 800k distribution disk image
    * Server gives instruction messages at the end as well as at the
beginning of bootstrap sends for Audio transfers - so you don't have
to have the website up in front of you to succeed

Bug fixes:

    * Fixed formatter code to more correctly format disks larger than
140k and to recognize and format hard drives/CFFA cards
    * Switched diskette image and bootstrapping data to use Apple's
publicly available ProDOS version 1.9, BASIC 1.4.1 as downloaded from
Apple's FTP site
