Otis:
In my case its the "alert where Jmol formerly died without alert"
problem you describe.
I can live with alerts for failing scripts (i.e. they shouldn't fail
in the first place if I do my job properly),
but it is now clear that its not just one of my scripts that is
failing with Jmol 14.4 (though they worked with previous versions).
Looks like it may take some time to identify exactly where the problems are...
Thanks for the info anyway.
Cheers
Simon
