<li>'''Windows:'''
Check "Use Java" if you have Java installed. Using Java will generate animations more than ten times faster. (Here are instructions for [[Installing and enabling Java]].) If you are using Java, [http://bioinformatics.org/firstglance/fgij/slides.htm#browsers '''Firefox''' is recommended]. We do ''not recommend Internet Explorer'' because it often saves a defective (empty, zero bytes) animation GIF file with Java, and is impossibly slow without Java. Chrome and Edge do not support Java, but are OK if you are not using Java.</li>
 
<li>'''Mac OS X: Do not use Java.''' You cannot drop the spt file into the Jmol_S Java applet in OS X.
If you need the faster generation of animations that Java can accomplish, use Method II.
