Hmm. I couldn't find it there.  I was informed (ta Angus) that the latest
version is at vlsi.cs.umn.edu (128.101.230.15) in pub/PLP.<version>.tar.Z
The latest version is 2Apr90.  I'm compiling it as I type ...

If you want a copy in the UK, then it's in <PUB>PLP.2Apr90.tar.Z at
uk.ac.soton.ecs and is available for NIFTP; copy in binary mode with 
login id 'guest' and password of your own mail ID.
