I took a quick look at MacMolecule.  It looks quite nice for what it
does -- space filling molecules.  Handles up to 1000 atoms.  The
archive file includes several RNA, DNA and biological molecules or
fragments.  Rotation of the spacefilled molecules is slow on a Mac2ci --
but then any molec. modelling will be slow on less than a Silicon
Graphics IRIS.   One of the nicest things about this program, in
contrast to MacMimic or Ball'n'stick or others is that it is Free;
this isn't a demo of an expensive program.

You can also get a copy of the program via anonymous ftp to
iubio.bio.indiana.edu, cd [archive.chemistry.mac], get macmolecule.hqx
