Point your gopher client at merlot.welch.jhu.edu and select:
--> 3. FTP Sites, Software and Data Archives For Biology/
in this directory you'll find (among other things):
--> 2. 3D Protein Display and Sequence Analysis for the PC (UIUC)/
--> 10. CCP4 - Programs for Protein Crystallography (U.K.)/
--> 30. Kinemages, Mage, Pkin -3D Protein Display for the Mac and PC (UIC)/
--> 34. Lots of Molecular Graphics, Dynamics and Chemistry (Brazil)/
--> 39. MULTI, molecular modelling (NIEHS-NIH)/
--> 43. MolViewer - Molecule viewing program for NeXT (Rice)/
--> 52. PDBview - View 3D protein Structures (Columbia Un.)/
--> 55. ProMod - 3D modeling software (Geneva)/
--> 59. RasMol - Molecular Graphics Visualisation tool - Unix and PC (UK)/
--> 60. RasMol - tkrasmol.tar.Z - Extended interface (Berkely) <Bin>
--> 67. XMol - display and analysis of molecular model data (MSC)/
Numbers 2, 30, and 59 are your best bet for PCs.
If someone would like to know more about gopher write me a note and I'll
send you some information to help get you started.
Best of luck,
