Hi, Jmol does a fine job reading pdb files with more then 9999 residue per chain, e.g. proteins solvated in water where each water counts as a residue. However upon writing such a file Jmol exceeds the allowed 4 columns for residue numbers and writes 10000 instead of continuing with 0 and then 1, 2 which seems to be the workaround most programs use to cope with this pdb format limitation. As a result Jmol can't read the file it has written itself. It would be great if Jmol could adopt that workaround.
