And even if the author doesn't continue, nothing prevents others from
continuing where the author left off - after all, the source code is
available.  I had the problem that ADT required the Super Serial Card
on the Apple II side, but I only had the older Communications Card.
Instead of hoping that the author would add Comm Card support, I
added it myself, and then released a Comm Card version of ADT.
 
That's the great idea behind OpenSource: more than the original
authors can contribute to the software!
