Re: [Jmol-developers] Java 1.5 ?

[Robert H. <ha...@st...>]

Great! Sounds like I should take a vacation for a while!

Let me know if you are going to upload changes that will break the build
temporarily, Nico. I'll plan on NOT doing coding at the BCCE this next week,
I think, or perhaps the 6-hour time difference will keep us on different
schedules. Anyway, this week end it's all yours!
