Chris,

Try the following URL:

I have downloaded PrimerDesign 1.04 for PC's and have played around with 
it a little.  I've also downloaded and tested PC-Rare but found it not 
very user friendly.  The Amplify program is great if you have a Mac.  I 
use it together with MacVector (which is not available for downloading).

Hope this helps.
