I asked you this question so that I could figure out if the code currently in jcamp should be maintained or it could be phased out in order to incorporate any existing code in Jmol. The reason for this is that jcamp currently reads text based jdx files and plots the data read. With the requirement to pass scripts between jcamp and Jmol, we might have to upgrade this capability in jcamp to support various formats of jdx files. Jdx files also come with binary data which makes this task slightly complicated.
I have been looking at the jcamp-dx project currently live on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jcamp-dx/). This seems to be a promising project which revolves around the parsing of jdx files. However, I dont believe this code is currently complete in terms of its capabilities. I have been wondering if our involvement keeping in mind much required jdx support in jcamp+Jmol should be greater in this project.

Shravan,
Last week you sent me a .jdx file and asked if Jmol could read it.
Jmol reads many file formats that contain atom coordinates.
As I understand it, .jdx files contain spectral data, but do not contain
atom coordinate data. Therefore, from Jmol's perspective, there is nothing
to read.
So, I am a little confused ... perhaps I misunderstood your question?
