There are new versions of both Qmol (a molecular viewer for windows) and 
PrestoPlot (a graphing/plotting program for windows)
available for download from the Shalloway Lab at Cornell University:

http://www.mbg.cornell.edu/shalloway/shalloway.html

Here are the improvements:

Qmol:

(1) Import multiple structures in a pdb file as a 
molecular trajectory (for animation)
(2) Read multiple structures/trajectories. Each structure can be
rendered and adjusted independently.
(3) Calculate the RMSD between two structures.
(4) Align two molecules by rigid-body translation and rotation.
(5) Measurement, hydrogen bond determination and RMSD calculation can 
all be performed in "real" time (i.e. move a molecule and watch dependant 
values change). 
(6) Numerous bug fixes!

PrestoPlot:

(1) Import and export audio data in the WAVE format.
(2) Numerous bug fixes.

While I am no longer at Cornell, I will support these programs
in my spare time. Bug reports and questions may be sent to 
jdg9:~at~:cornell.edu.
