I just wanted to make it clear that I think the bug is in Chime, which displays animations as:

  first model, third model, fourth model,.....last model, last model, ....
         fourth model,third model, first model, second model, second model....

etc. This has been the case since Chime was first released. I have no clue why they would code it this way. I will not miss this "feature" as I port to jmol!

Animation in jmol runs far better than in chime, but I must say that it is

jmol: 012345654321012345654321...

(pretty reasonable, huh?)


Yes ... but if I am sending you a frame '0' then that is a bug. Maybe the
frame indices are off.


chime: 123456654321001234566543210...


Looks to me like this is in 'palindrome' mode and that they are playing
the first and last frames twice.

In Jmol, palindrome mode (and loop mode) I plan to have (by default) a 1
second delay on the first frame, and a 1 second delay on the last frame.
One can override those values.


EXCEPT, if you look at the actual sequence in the FILE, then this is

chime: 0234566543201102345665432...

That is, chime starts with the first frame, skips the second, then on the
return
does them ...third,first,second,second,first,third...


?Que?


Go figure. Needless to say, here is a case where I will have to rewrite my
files
for jmol. (IE write a little VB ditty that creates a jmol alternative.)

By the way, reloading this file CONSISTENTLY crashes my Netscape. Why, do
you
suppose?


Reloading in Chime or reloading in Jmol?
