not that i don't see your point (and a reasonable one), but
you _could_ make the same argument for adding those
features to VMD/Tcl.
also, it always pays to do a trip to the Tk/Tcl wiki.
a *lot* of solutions can be found there for pretty
usual and fairly unusual problems.

reading dcds in a portable fashion can become pretty ugly
pretty quickly. what might be an interesting option would be
to write a C interface/import into mathematica for the
VMD plugin interface. that would be less tedious *and*
in addition you would gain compatibility to *all* supported
file formats.
