To download bins, go to the main site (efi332.eng.ohio-state.edu), click
on diy_efi, click on "ftp site index", then click on the file you want
to download.  Netscape should prompt you for a filename.

As far as getting it into promedit or tuna, you'll have to check the
readme for each.  It's been a while since I used them and I don't recall
the command line for either.
