[chimera-dev] Session saving

[Steve Ludtke]

Thanks for the tip on a workaround for the oslMap problem in the new
version. I must say this sort of API change is really irritating. It took
me quite a lot of time and effort to get that osl code to work in the
first place, and I'm not really looking forward to redoing it. It would be
really nice if some level of backwards compatibility were insured. I
understand your suggestion about not putting oslMap calls into my session
files, but at the time I had no reason to expect the API to change, and I
based my code on reading parts of the existing chimera code.  I still
have no concrete feel for what parts of the API might be stable and
what parts might not.  Sorry for the rant, just feeling a little
frustrated...
