You can always get the latest (and greatest) version of GeoMOOSE from the SVN
at <a target="_blank" href="http://geomoose.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geomoose/moose2-trunk/">http://geomoose.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geomoose/moose2-trunk/</a>.
On the bottom of the page there is a link to create a tarball that can be
opened with WinZip or other compression applications.</span></span></p>
