A very unorthodox way to implement SCSI but my guess is the idiotproofing is worth it.

David Kreil, Barak A. Pearlmutter, Yaroslav O. Halchenko BUGS
Using a web-based encoder server is a stop-gap measure until better encoders enjoy wide free distribution. There is a security issue in operating on documents not intended for widespread distribution, which could be partially although not com- pletely ameliorated by using a secure web connection. SEE ALSO
