One good use for Jmol to parse the bond-length data (assuming it is present)
is to define the connectivity for those "bonds" that may not be automatically
found by the program. I do a lot of manipulation of CIFs and one of my scripts
determines chemical moieties using the bond dataitems according to the
connectivity I've established via the refinement program (SHELXL primarily).
