It looks quite nice for what it does -- space filling molecules. Handles up to 1000 atoms. The archive file includes several RNA, DNA and biological molecules or fragments. Rotation of the spacefilled molecules is slow on a Mac2ci -- but then any molec. modelling will be slow on less than a Silicon Graphics IRIS. One of the nicest things about this program, in contrast to MacMimic or Ball'n'stick or others is that it is Free; this isn't a demo of an expensive program. You can also get a copy of the program via anonymous ftp to iubio.bio.indiana.edu, cd [archive.chemistry.mac], get macmolecule.hqx -- Don Don.Gilbert@Iubio.Bio.Indiana.Edu biocomputing office, indiana univ., bloomington, in 47405, usa
