Hmm. I'm not aware of this as a recommendation and would have to suggest
not doing this. It's saying that we either have
jmolInitialize("../../Jmol",true);
(when operating from a local drive, use a signed applet)
or
jmolInitialize("../../Jmol",false);
(when from the web, don't use the signed applet)
The presumption here is that the web designer does not know whether this
is from a local drive or not and so is trying to cover both bases. The
problem is that it is telling the applet to use a signed applet when
operating from a hard drive and an unsigned applet when operating from a
web page. I guess I can sort of imagine the use for that, but really the
better solution is just to have your data files arranged so that there
is no issue in the first place.
Philosophically I don't like the idea of automatically using one set of
Jar files when the page is local and a different set when it is on the
web. Right now 10.9 is not being distributed with any signed applets.
By the way, jmolInitialize (in 10.9) now accepts a third option:
specifying the jar file explicitly:
jmolIntialize(".","JmolApplet.jar")
for example. This allows use of a single Jar file rather than needing
the six numbered ones.

right, the 10.9 download doesn't include any signed applets.
