Thanks for the info - the original problem was the second example I gave - I only added the blank lines in order to try and figure out what the problem was.
In the case of the second example, Jmol-13.3.7 had no problem with reading the CIF, while Jmol 14+ doesnt offer cartoons as an option etc., but must know its an mmcif because still reads the coordinates (?) - thus I assumed it was a bug. Seems its just a change to how Jmol reads files... :-( Cheers Simon Quoting Robert Hanson <hans...@stolaf.edu>: > -- Angel got it -- exactly. > > On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 10:21 AM, Robert Hanson <hans...@stolaf.edu> wrote: > >> So don't add blank lines. ;) >> >> Jmol needs to identify the file as mmCIF in the first 16 lines, exclusive >> of comments. >> If you are adding lines, add one along with those blank lines starting >> like one of these: >> >> private final static String[] mmcifLineStartRecords = >> { "MMCif",* "_entry.id <http://entry.id>", "_database_PDB_", "_pdbx_", >> "_chem_comp.pdbx_type", "_audit_author.name <http://audit_author.name>", >> "_atom_site." *}; >> >> It's the "_atom_site." that I just added.
