There is a possibility that I-APL is already available for the
Sinclair Z-88, since I-APL was done with the thought in mind of
putting it on small machines.  If not, instructions are available
to a qualified "porters" who has to write some machine code that
links the hardware to the I-APL kernel, and does whatever can be
done about character sets. 

You can find two articles about I-APL in the newsletter APL Quote Quad
Issue 17 2, December 1986, (ask your library to subscribe).
You can contact Anthony Camacho or Ed Cherlin of I-APL:

	The I-APL interpreter, which is distributed free of cost,
	was written by Paul Chapman (of VIZ::APL fame) who was
	supported from funds collected by voluntary contributions.  

	I think that the I-APL interpreter comes the closest of
	any APL to conforming to the ISO APL Standard.
