Call UniPress at (201) 985 8000.  I am not sure if it can be made to produce
286 code.  It would certainly require time and effort.  ACK supports linear
address spaces of whatever size you want.  The 386 compiler is being debugged now.

I don't recall ever writing a book on PL/I.  Usually I don't forget things
like that.
