OK ... although I am still puzzled.

The purpose of the jcamp applet is to display jcamp data. In order to do
that you are going to have to read the files.

Hmmm ... well ... the purpose of your applet is to read and plot jcamp
data. If some of those files are binary, and you want to support them,
then you will need to write the code.

I think that is your decision.

Remember:
 - I am not a chemist
 - I don't know anything about jcamp spectral data
 - I have a full plate of tasks associated with rendering

The focus of my efforts with Jmol is on rendering and on providing APIs to
allow integration and coordinate with other applications.
