Definitely a good suggestion. The ultimate plan for encoded files and
archives is to have an on-site viewer for them, just like ADFS or
CiderPress, which would allow anyone to look over the files. Applesoft files
would be de-tokenized, binaries would be disassembled, and ASCII text files
would be presented "as-is."
