That's it. And concerning this issue one of my subtasks at the moment
is to figure out, which "chime script" statements will make trouble after
migration to Jmol (in addition to those ones that are not yet implemented).
BTW, i modified Your suggested command line to:
jmol -Djmol.logger.debug=true -ons /tmp/test.control.spt 2>&1 | tee 
/tmp/jmol.log
which ends in a slightly more communicative output :-); _but_: with at last
up to 20.000 lines of script statements it's still a pain, not to be
able to disable the "stop-on-next-error" behavior.

Yes, i "googled" this a few days ago, too. But unfortunately it's
a "chimeHTML-2-JmolHTML" converter. That's not what i'm looking for.
As i mentioned in my response to Egon, our HTML output is driven by
the cocoon framework. That is, our data gets processed by so called
"pipelines" with template transformation mechanism etc.

I made some efforts to go through the process flow in Jmol yesterday
afternoon in order to separate the relevant methods (file resolver *and*
script evaluation) but still any further hints are welcome.

I'll talk to one of our "Chime-Guru's" as soon as possible because i can't 
imagine
its purpose neither :-(

Well, i'll play around a bit with that.
