MOTIVATION: There are a large number of computational programs freely
available to bioinformaticians via a client/server, web-based environment.
However, the client interface to these tools (typically at html form page)
cannot be customized from the client side as it is created by the service
provider. The form page is usually generic enough to cater for a wide range
of users. However, this implies that a user cannot set as 'default'
advanced program parameters on the form or even customize the interface to
his/her specific requirements or preferences. Currently, there is a lack of
end-user interface environments that can be modified by the user when
accessing computer programs available on a remote server running on an
intranet or over the Internet.
