Downloads.

Perihelion has stated that Helios is now freely distributable, as long as it is not being charged for. I will remove any software at the copyright holder's request.

I only provide Helios 1.3 and the 1.31 upgrade at this time. For the 1.1 and 1.2 versions, visit Ram Meenakshisundaram's excellent pages. He also has a 1.31 distribution available as one large download which contains some additional elements.
