PROGRAM FOT BALL-AND-STICK MODELS--ANSWER

 Hello,  This is in response to a question about a program that will accept
 molecular geometry in various formats (e.g. XYZ) and give nice pictures.
    The Windows program Molwin will accept Cartesians or PDB and give attractive
 ball-and-stick pictures. The molecule can be rotated with a mouse and the atom
 and bond sizes can be adjusted. The pictures can be sent to WordPerfect and
 edited with bond lengths and angles, then printed for publication-quality
 illustrations.  Unfortunately you can't _query_ Molwin for geometry.
    MolWin will also accept Gaussian 92 freq output, show the molecule, and let
 you animate the vibrational frequencies. I have heard that it does not do
 this with G94, because the latter does not present freqs in the "long"
 form
 that Molwin uses; maybe there is some way to work around this.
   MolWin was written by Dr Pavel Ganelin of the Catholic University of America,
