You can get it from zaphod (anonumous ftp). The machines address is name=zaphod ; hostip= 128.174.20.50. Look under biology/GelReader. You also can get the most recent released versions of other NCSA software at no cost via anonymous ftp to zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu. The following shows a sample of the use of ftp to retrieve a new version of Imagetool for the Sun. (The ftp prompt is indicated as "ftp>" followed by your input.
