Definitely, the reason to do it like this was to have a standalone,
simple, version of the Reader classes only if you only need the
simple file to string features. But yes, it would be great to have it
use the BCSequence classes of course. The only real change I made was
to make the app pass just the filename instead of the raw ASCII text
of the file already extracted like in Peter's original
implementation. The reason is the fact that I have now added to
binary file formats, which need the filename, not the ASCII text.
Anyway it's a better separation of code, with the app not having to
care about anything else than the filepath, and the framework doing
the rest.

That was my reason to leave it up to you guys ;-) Still, it would
perhaps be nice to give a place to the standalone reader classes as
well on the server.

Great, in that case I can tell you that your user base tripled ;-)
It's now used by 4Peaks, iRNAi, and EnzymeX ;-)
