There is no version of freesurfer being distributed by Anders Dale at UCSD.

Marty Sereno does has a version of freesurfer branched from version 0.9.  His includes a gui called csurf that can launch the retinotopy analyses (among other things) for a single subject.  In general, it is somewhat dated.  For example, it does not use mgh/mgz format, but rather a mixture of BRIK and bfloat/bshort.  The cortical surface reconstruction stream also does not have many of the improvements made at MGH in the last several years (e.g. better topo fixing, aseg).

I've never used it, but an advantage of the MGH freesurfer retinotopy analysis stream is that it is documented, supported, and consistent with the latest cortical reconstruction stream distributed with MGH freesurfer.
