Summary: Gaussian Cube File incorrect units

Initial Comment:
Hello Miguel, Bob,

I am trying to visualise isosurfaces of cube files which I have generated 
myself.

Jmol's cube file reader assumes that the cube file units are in Bohrs. However, 
this is only true if the 'number of points' is a negative value. Otherwise, the 
units are Angstroms (this applies to the units of the origin, as well as the 
units of the spacing).

This is described briefly at 
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/cube/:
"""
If the sign of the number of voxels in a dimension is positive then the units 
are Angstroms, if negative then Bohr.
"""

I think the behavior is undefined if some of the signs of the 'number of 
voxels' are positive and some are negative (i.e. what units should be used for 
the origin in that case?).

I would very much appreciate if you could fix this.

Regards,
    Noel
