There is a great search engine to use if as in this case you know
the file name..

         http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ftpsearch

Just type in the file name  i.e. gcmwin21.zip or gcmwin22.zip
hit the search button and all known locations of that file
are displayed.  Just click on any site with the mouse and you
have the file.  I found gcmwin22.zip located on many sites 
throughout the WWW

Oh by the way I downloaded both version 2.1 and 2.2.  Both
work fine on two different machines, 486-50 with WIN95
and a P166 with WIN311.  

This is a decent map generating program
