Hi Nick,
A bit of a hack I suppose, but you could use a (single use) VM with some old
windows version that still works.
E-mailing the developers directly is the way to go to figure out whether you
can expect an update.
We had a similar problem with our own webserver (the Crystallographic Construct
Designer ccd.rhpc.nki.nl) which was completely a java applet. The only real
solution was a full rewrite. But that requires funding which we luckily got
from the West-Life project.
Keeping websites online is is not easy with changing technology and getting
funding is hard because it is not new science.
Cheers,
Robbie

This is slightly off topic but I suspect people from PDBe etc read this
bulletin board.
Quite a number of very useful structural biology web sites (Olderado,
Vivaldi, EMDB to name but a few) require java based viewers and hence no
longer have full (or in the case of vivaldi any) functionality on up to
date browsers.
On a new computer it may prove hard or even impossible to find a browser
that will work
Are there plans to update these websites and is there any suggeted time
scale?
Any work rounds?
Best wishes
Nick
