Re: [Jmol-users] Jmol specifications

[Frieda Reichsman]

Sorry to be dragging this out, but I want to make sure I get it right.

I have come across a different spec list on the Jmol site. (But there is a warning on the page that it may be out-of-date.) The Win32 section looks very similar to what Miguel has already posted on this topic, and I have corrected the list as it appears below to correspond to his post. (Netscape changed to v 7.2, not 7, IE changed to v6 as opposed to no version specified, and Opera changed to v8, as per Bob's input, and Netscape 4.7 removed entirely.) So I believe the list for Win32 below to be up to date now.

What about the Mac browsers as shown below? Are they correct? I am using Mozilla on OSX 10.3.9 and I do not recall having downloaded javaplugin.sourceforge.net, but maybe I did, and just don't remember.

Also, when I go to the Sun Java web site and click on downloads, I see a download for JRE version 5 update 4, and nothing like "Sun Java Plugin 1.4". Am I going to the wrong place at Sun? Or is the Java Plugin just a part of what is installed by the Runtime Environment?

Here is the list from http://jmol.sourceforge.net/docs/JmolAppletGuide.html#d0e12 , but edited as described above.
