The compiler does exist, and I guess I'm the holder of the latest
revision of it... not the original author, but I have made a lot of
bug/feature fixes, and have posted them to alt.lang.intercal in the
past.

The idea of setting up a site was suggested in a.l.i, but never acted on,
as far as I know... If someone would be willing to volunteer, I'm still
willing to continue to update the sources, but can't really maintain an
ftp site/ mail server.
