Hi Simon As far as know, Jmo reads the fisrt N lines of every file in search for tokens that will tell what format the file is in.
Your insertion of lines is probably making ti not reach the relevant, information-richs lines. There was a similar problem recently reported with PDB files from a certain source that was inserting extra lines at the beginning. You can force Jmol using a prefix like load pdb::whateverFileName.ext I'm not sure about the mmcif prefix, may it's that See http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/#load ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
