Angel, Bob, I do provide a webpage and applet system for compounds that I can make available that way but others are restricted to just one (or a few chemists) and I didn't want to have to maintain the whole security infrastructure to enable this.
What these people have on their machines (mostly) is the Accelrys viewer and most of us who do molecule visualization know that is a no-brainer to steer clear of anything with the Accelrys name attached to it. What some chemists have done is to download and install the CCDC viewer (Mercury) but that does require going to the CCDC site and downloading the installation executable (not to mention that the corporate IT types aren't very happy with people going outside the firewall to download programs). If I can provide a simple, easy-to-use (but still extremely capable) viewer from an internal server everyone is a lot happier. I don't really want to have to maintain a separate Jmol.jar. With the speed with which Bob enhances and extends Jmol's functionality I'd end up having to rework any customized code I included every few months just to keep the app reasonably current. In an ideal world the menus and program defaults would be able to customized by an external file. If the file is there modify the interface accordingly, if not, fall back on the internal defaults.

There's still time to save $100. Use priority code J8TL2D2. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;198757673;13503038;p?http://java.sun.com/javaone _______________________________________________ Jmol-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-users
