	You could call the Office of Technology Licensing at Stanford
University at (415)723-0651.

	Beware that Gemini is only a 2-d poisson solver and doesn't
solve the carrier continuity or current equations. It has been superceded
by Pisces. If you only want potential contours and such, Gemini might
still suffice.

	Further, Stanford requires (this is personal opinion only) you
to take the tapes as `research data' only and you're contractually bound
in the license NOT to try to contact the developers!

	IMHO, the Stanford OTL approach to simulation software is NOT
for the faint of heart - be prepared for frequently buggy university
code with very little to nil support when you run into trouble. Again,
in my PERSONAL opinion one is better off paying many times more to a
commercial vendor who will stand by you and by their product as you try
to get RESULTS from the tools. (I've just spent almost $100K on a suite 
of commercial T-CAD tools in the last week so I have a fairly recent
feel for what's out there.)

	Good luck,
