Jmol is Java software. In order to
use it you must have a recent version of Java installed on your
computer. If you do it will run under most flavors of *nix (MacOS
included) and Windows. There are two versions of the
program. The applet is what is used within Java capable web
browsers. The applet is downloaded when needed by the browser and
has no access to your computer hard disk. The applet is meant to
view molecular structures and replace the Chime plugin, which has not
been updated and does not work in many browsers. The full
application version must be downloaded to your computer by you and runs
as a stand alone application. The application is a replacement for the
molecular viewing application Rasmol, which needed to be written
specifically for each computer OS and CPU type.
You can get the latest version at the
Jmol
web site.
