Actually, I don't know of any program that can convert chemical names
 to structures that *can't* handle CAS names.  Both ChemDraw
 (http://www.cambridgesoft.com) and ACD/Name (http://www.acdlabs.com)
 definitely can.  Of course, either application might fail on any
 given name, but that would be the exception not the rule.
