Another great release, David.  I was also not aware that AppleCommander was integrated into ADTPro.  Now, if you integrated an emulator, Jace or gsport for instance, you will have created the GUAP (Grand Unified Apple Program).  Then, port it all to C and it would be perfect! Hey, I guy can dream, can't he?  Seriously, ADTPRo is the only reason I have Java on my Linux box.

Following up with Bill and CiderPress - although the GUI takes a little to get used to, the benefit I get from it being non-flashy and using a very old baseline of Windows APIs is that it works so well with WINE under Linux.  I'm afraid updating its APIs to a more modern implementation might break the fragile WINE compatibility.  However, at the very least, I have the current version for WINE.
