Dear Jeff,

Congratulations!  That sounds terrific.

Do you mind if we add that information in the Jmol Wiki? --or you could add it 
yourself ;-)

Jmol users are in demand of manuals to get started (that's the reson why my 
book, despite being 7 years old and somewhat obsolete for the new Jmol 
versions, still keeps selling).

I will try to take a look at your book. Would Freeman be interested in offering 
a translation in Spanish?

Wider than on the web?  I doubt it.

I think the problem may be (1) price, or restriction to be attached to another 
material (the textbook) (2) lack of knowledge the material is there.
I have some similar experience. Some peole buy a textbook and do not care 
to check the supplementary online materials. I am blaming the publishers in 
a good part, I belive they do not know how to publicize those resources and 
give them value.

That's a very good idea indeed.

Quite obscure path. That's what I meant about publicity.

Please let me know about the Wiki. I could do it today.
