There is no 80286 APL*PLUS, if you have an AT you can run the 8088 code.
Version 7 of the 8088 code thrashes your whitespace, Version 8 probbly does
too.  (It's a non-issue at STSC, and if it was there are really people
who work there that enjoy haveing their whitspace mangled).  You are right
about the 386 version (APL*PLUS II), in fact the only STSC APL's that mangle
whitspace are their IBM 370 versions, PC, and Pocket APL.
