The CCP1GUI project aims to develop a free, extensible Graphical User Interface to various computational chemistry codes developed by the worldwide academic community, with an emphasis on ab initio Quantum Chemistry codes.   We have just released version 0.7.1 of the CCP1GUI.  This is the first release to include completely self-contained packages for Windows and Mac OSX, which we hope will make using the CCP1GUI much easier!  This release also includes support for drawing "streamarrows" for visualising vector fields and an update to the CCP1GUI's AM1 optimiser.
