Bob,
Sorry about the lack of specificity. Verbose not concise is my major
writing flaw! The Fisher projections were definitely bond wedge, albeit
two solid wedges per carbon as per the FP convention.
I'm using 12.1.7. calculate H seems OK there.

Very interesting, Otis. Yes, the \\ business is a real nuisance.
That's exactly what you have to do. (Of course, you could do it on the
original long two-molecule string instead.)
Fischer projections -- are those with stereochemistry or without?
By the way, I think I just broke "calculate hydrogens..."

I don't think this is a documented capability, but it seems to work
well. It also may not be unexpected, but it pleasantly surprised
me. If
you draw two structures in a JME editor that is hooked to Jmol,
then the
following compare works when you parse the two JME SMILES in the
original JME SMILES string:
var y = compare(smi1, smi2, 'ISOMER'); echo @y;
smi1 and smi2 are simply the JME SMILES fed to Jmol Script via
JavaScript variables. While there are issues (aromatics, maybe
others(?)) cross comparing JME and Jmol SMILES, this internal JME/JME
seems to work as well as Jmol/Jmol comparisons.
My reason for this use of compare is related to an aldose SMILES mess
(unrelated to Jmol) that I'm trying to clean up in our
application. When
I decided to generalize the approach, I only ran into one issue. In
passing the JME SMILES from JavaScript to Jmol Script, I lost the "\"
character in e/z alkenes. This was corrected by the following:
jmolScript("smi1 = '" + smils[0].replace(/\\/g, '\\\\') + "';")
jmolScript("smi2 = '" + smils[1].replace(/\\/g, '\\\\') + "';")
smils[0] and smils[1] are the JavaScript array variables resulting
from
a split of the original JME SMILES in the "." character.
While passing the actual models to Jmol is a comparison option, I
found
this direct approach allowed me to quickly check and edit structures
with multiple chiral centers. In addition, UFF doesn't always get it
right. Passing D-glucose from JME to Jmol (Fisher Projections)
directly
results in the rendering of D-galactose. The recently added NIH
rendering does, however, get this correct.
Related Issue:
I'm going to check on this next point. I think the NIH molfile
return on
a name query is database directed (i.e. sometimes wrong). I think (and
I'll check this) that the molfile return on a SMILES is computed.
