The best one I have seen, and used, is Plasmid Processor, which can be
downloaded from
http://www.hytti.uku.fi/~kiviraum/plasmid/plasmid.html
They do talk about releasing a new version soon, but that will be a win95
only package.
If you want to mess around a little (use the backdoors in the package), you
can also use the demo version of Vector NT, which is nice and powerful,
but difficult to use if you don't want to buy the full registered package.
This can be found at
http://www.informaxinc.com/vectornti.html
Like I said, it's a nice programme, but expensive to buy, and the demo
is limited. I would recommend looking at Plasmid Processor
