Hi all,

I noticed that Jmol.jar and JmolData.jar (13.1.10_dev) behave 
differently if they are called with identical command-line parameters.

One general difference is the order how the different output types are 
provided.

Example program calls ('scriptfile' loads a large number of files and 
analyses them):
   1) java -jar Jmol.jar     -on -s scriptfile >& logfile
   2) java -jar JmolData.jar -on -s scriptfile >& logfile

Output types:
   a) Jmol messages
   b) 'print' command output

After call 1) the order of a) and b) in 'logfile' is the same as in the 
Console, which means they are mixed in the order they are created.

After call 2) first all output of type a) appears in 'logfile' and after 
the end of the script all output of type b) is appended at once.

This has two disadvantages:
   1) if Jmol crashes all output of type b) is lost
   2) it is much more difficult to read the logfiles because output of 
type a) and b) for a single structure are at very distant positions 
within 'logfile'.

Additionally there is a difference regarding the '-j' option which looks 
like a bug. The output produced by the commands started by '-j' is not 
provided at all in 'logfile'. (Output of '-J' appears.)

Regards,
Rolf
