No
When the capability to display the unit cell was added to
Jmol by reading a Shelx type file, a bug was introduced -
Jmol displays the cell angles incorrectly (and perhaps
reads them in incorrectly?) The "crystal properties" item
in the "extras" menu displays alpha as beta, beta as
gamma and gamma as alpha. In addition, in v.8, the cell
angles are displayed in radians, rather than degrees.

I beliece this is fixed. I think the only problem was that
the UnitCellBox.getAngles() method was incorrect: it
defined alpha as the angle between the axes a and b, etc.
The second, radian problem is fixed too.
