Re: CCL:vmd under windows

 Hi,
   Do you have Babel installed on your windows machine?  The previous
 versions of VMD (i.e. prior to the almost-release 1.8.1 version I'm
 working on now) did not have a built-in XYZ reader, so they require the
 use of Babel.  If you don't have babel installed, then you still be unable
 to load your XYZ file, regardless of the issue with spaces in the filenames.
 If you'd like to try the new version, let me know, it loads XYZ files
 directly without the need for babel.
 Thanks,
   John Stone
