You can only load binary files from your local machine if you are using
FireFox, I believe. And maybe just on a PC. I can't remember. Any chance
that is your problem?

What is happening is that your machine does not support asynchronous binary
file transfer using AJAX, so it has to go to a server and get the server to
convert that GZIP file to BASE64, transfer it, convert it back to GZIP,
then decode that. But it can't go to the server with a local call - or at
least that could never work (because it is a local file) and you get that
error message. So even if you had the right server call, this would not
work locally.

I need to get the newer Jmol2.js out there -- It should read:

Jmol.Info = {

  //    jarPath: "java",
  //    jarFile: "jmolAppletSigned.jar",
  //    signed: true,
  //    j2sPath: "j2s",
      use: "HTML5", // could be JAVA or HTML5
      serverURL: "http://wine-and-crackers.local/chem/reuse/php/jsmol.php";,
disableJ2SLoadMonitor: false,
disableInitialConsole: true

}

Those lines need uncommenting only if your page doesn't call
jmolInitialize() or you want to override that call.
