There's another viewer called Weblab, available free from www.msi.com
which is the Rolls Royce of 3D viewers (for freeware at least).  It not
only shows 3D structures in any format you care to mention (pdb, mol, etc),
it converts 2D line drawings made in Isisdraw, Chemdraw or Chemweb
to proper 3D structures(!), and automatically adds hydrogens in the correct
stoichiometry and orientation.  It also allows you to display the files in
many more interesting ways that Rasmol (e.g. ladders and arrows for DNA),
and it allows you to *edit the 3D structure* by simply clicking on one
of the atoms and deleting it or dragging it to a new position.   This is a
truly wonderful program, and well worth checking out.
