Will the ellipsoid information be read from a cif file too, or does it

As Elaine mentioned, PDB file right now.  We probably should get our mmCIF support to handle the anisotropic information, which is isn't yet.

So are you talking about a small-molecule CIF file or an mmCIF file?  If CIF, do you know if it encodes the anisotropic information in the same way as mmCIF?
