Bill,

The top of the hemoglobin file which you sent me is below.

It turns out that this is a .html file, not a .pdb file. Now RasMol/Chime
will accept it as a .pdb file because you (implicitly or explicitly) tell
it that you are loading a file of type .pdb

RasMol/Chime then effectively ignores the lines that do not contain
recognized record types in the first 6 columns.

Jmol, on the other hand, automatically figures out the file type. We think
that it is a significant feature that one can load files without knowing
the file type ... and without having to have the extension correct.

If it is the case that there are still database servers that are returning
'.pdb' files that are formatted this way then they should be updated to
return the files using the mime type Content-type:text/plain


Miguel
