Re: [Jmol-users] Re: incompatible pdb file

[William R. <whr...@ms...>]

Jaime, Miguel and others,

I'm sorry my inquiry about incompatible pdb files initiated this fuss. 
Since for many years I have been using all kinds of pdb files with 
Chime, I was surprised to find that some of the older files did not work 
with Jmol. Your explanations clearly indicate the nature of the problem, 
and it is easy to correct. Unfortunately, time has passed and I can't 
tell you where I found the offending hemoglobin file. For Jmol use I 
have replaced it with 1A3N from the protein databank.
All of my past queries have come from an effort to translate my Chime 
based Virtual Text of Organic Chemistry to a Jmol version. I have almost 
finished, and I will post the url once I am convinced everything is 
functioning correctly. Incidently, I have restricted the Jmol displays 
to applet generated buttons to avoid the Javascript problems that have 
been prominently discussed here. I use both Wintel and Macintosh 
platforms, and I find the latter fails to function well with many of the 
fine sites referenced here, despite upgrades to OS10.3.5 and the most 
recent Java fixes.
Thanks for all your help.

Bill
