Send the offending files my way. I will take a look. JSmol certainly loads JVXL files. (isosurface "caffeine.jvxl") link on JSmol.htm On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 3:52 PM, Pshemak Maslak wrote: > I have encountered a problem working with jvxl and zip files. > > I have a big spartan file of cholester

Sure. That's another great suggestion. A third question is pertinent: As a scientist or educator, but not a programmer, how disruptive would it be for you if the next Firefox or Chrome or Safari or whatever browser follows through on the suggestion of this group to "experiment" with the proposed
