Hi,

Jmol does a fine job reading pdb files with more then 9999 residue per chain, 
e.g. proteins solvated in water where each water counts as a residue. However 
upon writing such a file Jmol exceeds the allowed 4 columns for residue numbers 
and writes 10000 instead of continuing with 0 and then 1, 2 which seems to be 
the workaround most programs use to cope with this pdb format limitation. As a 
result Jmol can't read the file it has written itself. It would be great if 
Jmol could adopt that workaround.
