Jmol<ref>Jmol was initiated before 2000 by [http://openscience.org Dan Gezelter], and many programmers contributed to it including Bradley A. Smith, Egon Willighagen, and Cristoph Steinbeck. In 2002, Miguel Howard volunteered as the primary developer. He made many major enhancements including drastically improved performance, support for macromolecules, and implementation of the [[RasMol]] / [[Chime]] script command language. Howard's work culminated in the release of an open-source replacement for [[Chime]] in 2006. Subsequently, [http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/ Robert M.
