[Jmol-developers] Drop of "Jmol Console"

2002-10-28 Thread Egon Willighagen
Hi all, I want to drop the use of the Jmol Console for outputing information. Debugging output will be saved to file (jmol.log), and informative messages should end up in the status bar... Are there developers that still use the Jmol Console for any use? Please let me know, before I remove it...
