Dear Bob, Thanks for your attention to the CIF issue, and for recording the 
current status in the above URL. I am turning my attention to other 
projects for the coming months (ConSurf and Protein Explorer), so I won't 
revisit the CIF issue in Jmol for a while.

My long term question is whether mmCIF will have significant advantages. 
Several errors in PDB files were reported to RCSB recently. Often their 
response is "it is fixed in the mmCIF". CIF is a burning issue for now (for 
FirstGlance), but it is GREAT that Jmol will be able to read mmCIF in future.

Are you reporting the errors you found in mmCIF files to RCSB? (in...@rc...)
