Looking for PLM86 compiiler

I have added an 8088 to my Imsai 8080 (using the CompuPro/Godbout 8085/88
dual processor card).  I have been all over the internet and have not been
able to find a copy of PL/M86 and associated linker and locator.  I know
they must be out there, but none of the CPM86 sites have the tools.

As an alternative, I could use a C86 compiler, but the C language overhead
is huge.  The AZTEC C86 compiler creates about 5K of 'stuff' for a main()
with no #includes that simply returns.  I suspect there is a ton of DOS
support stuff that gets dragged in. PLM86 is designed more for creating PROM
code, which is what I really need.

Can anyone out there point me in the right direction?  PLM86 or a C compiler
that understands the concept of PROMable code?
