Abstract
A series of modules were prepared to model some topics in molecular mechanics and computational chemistry. In order to make modules that would be useful in personal, academic or professional situations and to make them easy to use on both IBM and Macintosh compatible computers as well as require little or no computational, advanced mathematical or programming skills we settled on Microsoft Excel as the program of choice. The release of Excel 5.0 incorporates Visual Basic. This allows the use of custom commands, menus, dialog boxes, buttons and custom on-line help.
