FirstGlance in Jmol, Current Version:

This tar.gz includes the Jmol applet (both signed and unsigned) version matched to the FirstGlance code. It does not include the optional (bulky) test PDB files (see below).

If you are upgrading from a previous version, be sure to keep a safe copy of the old config.js file specific for your server's configuration!

firstglance1.45.tar.gz Released April 2010 with subsequent maintenance upgrades (included through February 2012). Bundled with Jmol applet 11.8.22. This tar.gz unpacks into subdirectory fgij1.45, and subdirectories of that named consurf, languages, localPDBFiles, and snaps. The file config.js is identical with that in previous versions through 0.99.

* FirstGlance in Jmol is written in two programming languages: javascript and Jmol command script. Both are interpreted languages, so when you download the application files, you are getting source code.

The Jmol applet is written in java. The jar files (java archive files) are compiled into intermediate code. The java source codes are available from jmol.org. You do not need Jmol source to install or to use FirstGlance in Jmol.

Obsolete Versions of FirstGlance in Jmol:

firstglance1.44.tar.gz Released February 4, 2010 with Jmol applet 11.8.17. This tar.gz unpacks into subdirectory fgij1.44, and subdirectories of that named consurf, languages, localPDBfiles and snaps. The file config.js is identical with that in previous versions through 0.99.

firstglance1.0.tar.gz Released December 10, 2006 - January 14, 2007. Tested with Jmol applet 10.2.0. This tar.gz unpacks into subdirectory fgij1.0, and a subdirectory of that named snaps, which contains the Snapshot Gallery. The file config.js is identical with that in previous versions through 0.99.

The file config.js was modified since version 0.98: three lines were added, all containing "cif.gz".

Please extract the tar.gz files below into an empty directory!
firstglance0.98.tar.gz Released March 11-13, 2006. Tested with Jmol applet 10.00.48. Two bugs fixed and documentation improved on March 12 & 13; please download the revised tar.gz file if you downloaded before March 14, 2006. The file config.js is identical with that in version 0.97.
firstglance0.97.tar.gz. Application released at firstglance.jmol.org Feb 2-12, 2006. Frozen and downloadable Feb 12, 2006. Tested with Jmol applet 10.00.46, 10.00.48 (works equally well with either). The file config.js was modified extensively since version 0.96.
firstglance0.96.tar.gz Released November 26, 2005. Tested with Jmol applet 10.00.43.

Test PDB Files: The following tar.gz is needed only for versions 0.96 - 1.0. It creates a directory "localPDBFiles" which contains test PDB files used only for a few entries in the Technical Gallery. Omitting these PDB files will not compromise the function of FirstGlance in Jmol in any other way. The subdirectory "localPDBFiles" and its contents should be placed in the same directory that contains the FirstGlance in Jmol application files, e.g. inside fgij or fgijN.NN (where N.NN is the version number)..

localPDBFiles.tar.gz (for FirstGlance 0.99 to the current version) 2.7 megabytes due to inclusion of a single large PDB file. Includes new file bb-invis.pdb.

Jmol: Starting with version 1.0 of FirstGlance in Jmol, the tar.gz files include the Jmol applet (both signed and unsigned versions). This guarantees that the Jmol version matches the FirstGlance application code.

In the unlikely event that you want to download version 0.991 or earlier, you will need to download the matching version of Jmol from jmol.sourceforge.net/download/. After unzipping the tar.gz, copy only these 16 files into the same directory as the FirstGlance application files:

JmolApplet0.jar - JmolApplet6.jar (seven files)
JmolApplet_i18n.jar (one file)
JmolAppletSigned0.jar - JmolAppletSigned6.jar (seven files)
JmolAppletSigned_i18n.jar (one file)

(Note that you do NOT need JmolApplet.jar nor JmolAppletSigned.jar. These are alternative forms of the applets that load less satisfactorily.)
