G*Power is a powere analysis package that is freely available.  You can
download it at:

http://www.psychologie.uni-trier.de:8000/projects/gpower.html 

You can calculate a sample size for a given effect size, alpha level, and
power value.

Can anyone point me to software for estimating ANCOVA or regression sample

You can use Sample Power from SPSS (a.k.a. Power and Preceision) or PASS 
2000 from NCSS. For more info, please visit:

I tried the site but received errors trying to download it.  It couldn't

As of a few minutes ago, it downloaded fine for me, when I clicked on
it with  Internet Explorer.  The  .zip  file expanded okay.  I used
right-click (I just learned that last week) in order to download the
 .pfd  version of the help.

Hmm.  Placing limits on R^2.  I have't read the 
accompanying documentation.  

On the general principal that you can't compute power
if you don't know what power you are looking for, I suggest reading
the relevant chapters in Jacob Cohen's book (1988+ edition).
