44 * The FileOpener interface specifies Runnable objects which can return one or more
45 * MolecularAssemblies. Implementing classes should not be constructed except by a class
46 * implementing PotentialsFunctions; one should pass that class the File to be opened, which
47 * constructs an implementation of FileOpener.
48 *
49 * <p>To some extent, this interface is legacy code of when I was trying to implement the open()
50 * methods from MainPanel instead of openWait(); it should be possible to simply wrap the methods
51 * into the classes implementing PotentialsFunctions.
