Craig,

Your file Support/JmolShell.js has some bad characters in it on lines 111
and 112. That prevents me from running.

Q: What is it that is breaking the old browsers?

I hope to add some detection of this type to the Jmol.js JavaScript
library. But do not know when I will get around to it.

The only mechanism that currently exists is to parse the output from the
MessageCallback handler. It is not pretty, but it is generally
Chime-compatible.
