Dov,

In order to get access to Unidata-distributed packages, you must first
register as a Unidata user.  Since you want GEMPAK, the easiest way to
do this is to go through the Unidata GEMPAK HomePage:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/

Click on 'Register as a Unidata User', and follow instructions.  After
registering, you will need to go to the 'Download Software' link under
the GEMPAK HomePage and download what you need.
