Qi,

>at no charge? 

The process of getting licensed for software that Unidata makes available
requires that you register as a Unidata user.  This is easily done online
at:

http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/user.php?op=new_user

You can get to this link through the GEMPAK HomePage:

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

One thing to note is that we do not provide full support for any of
our packages to non-university participants.
