Oli: New feature proposal for database - Page 1

I 've wondered if this program would be of intrerest when it was first released to the public, or if it would be difficult to integrate into the database website.

How would this software be used ?

It integrates with your browser I believe (like Adobe Acrobat does), but runs on a server (such as this one).  The quality of imaging would be far superior to the current method of sharing xrays.  Even if Xebra wasn't used, there are other methods for integrating hi-resolution imagery with your browser, such as LizardTech's DeJaVu browser plugin http://www.lizardtech.com/
