Hi, This concerns Jmol Version: 14.6.1_2016.08.11 2016-08-11 22:11.
There is an issue with reading/recognising xyz files. On the wiki page http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/File_formats/Formats/XYZ those are described as having two header lines per step in a multi-step format, the first of which states "the number of atoms in that step. This integer may be preceded by whitespace; anything on the line after the integer is ignored.” However, if there is anything after the integer, the xyz file is no longer recognised and the load command gives up with “script ERROR: unrecognised file format for file broken.xyz". I attach two files which only differ by a supposedly ignored character after the number of atoms, and both fulfil the standard given in the wiki. So, at the moment there is a discord between documentation and code. I’d prefer this was fixed in the code, so I don’t have to change a bunch of xyz files. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Brommer
