Hi Egon:
I see at
http://www.java.com/en/download/
JRE vers. 5.0 update 10
either as a rpm package (thus, not for debian)
or self-extracting
filename "jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin"
I must confess I am unfamiliar with installations of
the latter type of file.

Slower would not be a problem for simply inspecting
the molecular structure and getting the geometric
data: angles, dih angles and bond lengths, which is my
aim.

Unfortunately, it is only version 11 that is said to
work with NWChem, which is of my present concern (for
MPQC I am already OK).
Therefore, can jmol from www.jmol.org
filename "jmol-11.0.RCA-binary.tar.gz"
be run on debian i386 etch (or amd64 etch)?

Thanks
