Software Info Needed

[Craig S. Kim]

Hello,

I've recently been authorized to go on a spending spree for molecular 
bio/biochemistry type software.  Can anyone tell me where I can get 
information on the following for a Macintosh PowerPC?			

	*  The latest version of DNA strider

	*  A program to design oligos for PCR (prevent dimerization and
	   hairpins)

	*  A program which will find degree of homology between different
	   DNA sequences

	*  A graphical program to visualize different chemical structures
   	   (HyperChem or others?)

If any of you use any of this type of software, I would really appreciate 
your opinions of any of the packages out there.

Thanks in advance for your help,
