For Windows 3.1, 95 and NT look at:
http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~louis/ortep3/ 
Ortep-3 for Windows is a MS-Windows version of the current release of
ORTEP-III (1.0.2), which incorporates a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
to make production of thermal ellipsoid plots much easier. 

I have used versions of this program and it is easy to use and free.  It
supports a variety of crystallographic file formats and generates
graphics files which can be brought into a word processor for inclusion
in reports and publications.
