Hi!

Is there a simple molecule builder (organometallic preferred)
for Linux (preferred), SGI, or Windows NT systems? 

I now there are many commercial packages, and visualization tools 
(particularly for pdb files), but I don't need any of the force field
stuff, etc. Just a simple idealized geometry like for
input into an optimization run. The output would be simple
cartesian coordinates. No need to report internal coordinates,
although this would be a plus.

Ideally the program would be free/shareware and the code
would be available for customization.

Bye!
