The Gabriel software is available via ftp from copernicus.Berkeley.EDU
(128.32.240.37).  It's not quite "anonymous": you can use anonymous
ftp to get the license agreement.  When you sign that and mail it back
to us, we give you the password to an ftp account that allows you to
grab the actual software.  It's free, just not anonymous.  :-)

For the uninitiated, Gabriel is a block diagram programming environment
for DSP that runs on Sun 3 and Sun 4 workstations.  It can simulate
DSP designs, generate assembly code for Motorola DSP56000 and DSP96000
chips, and automatically perform parallel scheduling when multiple DSP
chips are used.

For more information, ftp to copernicus.Berkeley.EDU, log in as "anonymous"
(any password will do), and grab the files "gabriel-overview",
"gabriel-release-info", and "gabriel-license.shar".  Be warned that a new
version of Gabriel will be out by the end of January, so if you're interested
in it, it might pay to wait until then.
