I am working on a paper which will be submitted to Nature.  I want
to acknowledge use of NIH Image and NCSA Image, image processing
programs for the Macintosh.  There aren't any published papers I
can reference, but I want to give a name for the program which
will be of general use in finding the program.  I had hoped to give
a name which can easily be found using Archie, but I looked, and
the file name for NIH Image is just Image144.hqx, and it changes
every month or so when a new version comes out.

I realize that the person who creates the file on the FTP server
controls the name.  How about some alias mechanism for Archie?

I would like to say "... using the widely available public domain
programs 'NIH Image' and 'NCSA Image' for Macintosh" and not really
need to say any more.  Right now, I have to say something like
"available at alw.nih.gov" but wouldn't it be better not to direct
people to a specific site?
