I have developed just such a program called Re_View. The major input type is 
a multistructure XYZ file but it will also accept certain MOPAC output files 
directly. 

OVERVIEW

RE_VIEW is essentially a molecular viewer, animator, analyzer, and MOPAC 
reaction path converter. The program runs under Windows 3.x and Windows 95, 
and although the program definitely benefits from 8 Mbytes (or even more 
memory) the minimum recommended memory is 4 Mbytes. 

The major functions of RE_VIEW include the ability to:
     1) Display and manipulate molecules in 3D;
     2) Animate reaction pathways;
     3) Align the steps/frames within an animation, along a vectors or onto a 
plane;
     4) Animate normal modes of vibration;
     5) Monitor geometries (lengths, angles and dihedrals);
     6) Provide tabulated geometrical data (which can be readily incorporated 
into spreadsheets) and graphical displays of such geometrical data; and
     7) Automatically produce high quality 'ray-traced' images and animation 
sequences.


I am distributing the program directly at present the cost is 50 pounds (GB) 
for a single user licence and 500 pounds for a departmental licence. For this 
you get the program, help file, a number of data files and a manual. 

Feel free to contact me for further information.
