 Hi Folks,
 down there the replies to MO visualizer enquiry.
 No recommendation included, just as posted.
 Take most of it !

 With HyperChem combined with ChemPlus, one can calculate molecular orbitals
 and then display the isosurfaces.  The display can be as a wireframe or as
 a shaded solid.  With HyperChem alone, one can display the orbitals as
 contour plots.  HyperChem for SGI, which will be shipping in a month, will
 be able to display the isosurfaces without needing other software.  I can
 send you more information and demos about any of these packages if you wish.
 The demos are also available from our ftp server, ftp.hyper.com, in the
 directories under /pub/demo .  They can also be obtained from our WWW
 server, http://www.hyper.com
 .
 Regards,
 Joel

 Hello,
 I think there exists for UNIX and X-Windows a program called molden
 (on www.ccl.net) which can do MO-Plots. The ab initio program GAMESS
 also comes  with a routine for plotting its MOs. Unfortunately all these
 programs need UNIX and X-Windows.
 I hope I could help you.
 Greetings,
 Joachim Schulte (schulte "-at-" ws09.pc.chemie.th-darmstadt.de)

 Hi Mathias,
 For your purposes I suggest using KGNGRAF from CHEM-STATION,
 it is coupled to HONDO, GAUSSIAN and MOPAC (at least!), it
 comes with CHEM-STATION (HONDO8 + KGNGRAF) it makes 2D and 3D
 beautiful pictures. It is distributed by IBM at $600 roughly.

 Dear Mathias,
 You might try a simple program like MOPLOT from the institute of physikal
 chemistry here in Fribourg. It runs on a PC. For more details see
 http://sgich1.unifr.ch/pc/moplot.html
 or download it by ftp:
 "How to obtain MOPLOT
 MOPLOT can be copied from the anonymous ftp archive on
 sgpch1.unifr.ch where it is located in the
 /moplot directory. It is free of charge.
 The authors would be grateful to learn about your opinion on
 MOPLOT and possible bugs in the program. "
 Regards,
 Olivier
