That would be great. Please:
1) Check out the Jmol code using SVN/Eclipse.
2) Create your reader. Please add this to org.jmol.adapter.readers.xtal
(unless it is XML, then use ....xml). Take a look at
org.jmol.adapter.smarter.AtomSetCollectionReader.java to get a sense of what
is going to happen in the reader.
I can help if you get stuck. This mostly involves:
(a) adding a bit of code to org.jmol.adapter.smarter.Resolver.java
(b) copying one of the other readers as a template as CrystalReader.java
(c) modifying the template as needed
3) Create a working patch and send it to us. This should be just two files
-- Resolver.java and CrystalReader.java
4) I will check over your code, make sure it doesn't conflict with other
readers, make sure it properly accounts for various options, and probably
edit it a bit to be consistent with our styling. Then I will add it to Jmol
11.9.x
