[Jmol-developers] Modifying "standard" file formats

[<nve...@cl...>]

Hi,

The reader for xyz files has been modified so that it can read non-standar=
d xyz files with isotopes numbers in them.

I am not sure this is a good idea to modify standard file formats and thei=
r associated readers so that we can add extra informations in files, makin=
g them non-standard.

I would like to know the opinion of others on this list.

My own opinion is that we should stick with standard file formats and not =
add our own or modify existing ones.
