It sounds like Re_View(2) is exactly what you want. It provides complete control of atom 
colours, etc; enables multistructure XYZ files to be read in; displays animations and even drives 
POV-ray without the user having to know anything about the ray-tracing processes so that mpeg 
and AAplay movies are automatically generated.

Best of all it runs under Window3.1/95/NT.

PS: Re_View contains many more features including 'active' graphs of data, etc.

Take a look at Re_View's WWW pages for details.
