It has just come to my attention that Accelrys has withdrawn its excellent free molecular viewing package ViewerLite and now only offers ViewerPro which retails at $299. I would be interested (a) to know the reaction of other users of this software to the news and (b) if there are any alternative freeware applications that offer the same or similar functionality particularly for viewing crystal lattices.
