if you are looking for the implementation, the ftp address for the scheme
repository is correct; you can also get there from 
	http://www.cs.indiana.edu/scheme-repository/imp.html

if you'd like reading material, see

[ReA82]   Jonathan A. Rees and Norman I. Adams, T: A Dialect  of  Lisp
          or, LAMBDA: The Ultimate Software Tool, Conference Record of
          the 1982 ACM Symposium on Lisp and  Functional  Programming,
          1982, 114-122.

          manual,  fourth  edition,  Yale  University Computer Science
          Department, January 1984

there was also a good book by Slade: "T Programming Language: A Dialect
of Lisp" but i cannot remember the publisher, year. alibris may be able
to find you a copy.

Slade, S., The T Programming Language.
                Englewood Cliffs, NJ:  Prentice-Hall Inc., 1987.

History of T (guess where): http://www.paulgraham.com/thist.html

For online reading material I would taking a look at my Scheme bibliography:
http://library.readscheme.org. Among fairly recent additions, there is an
article by Olin Shivers on the history of T (available from Paul Graham's
web
site), and a PDF copy of the T manual. References (and sometimes links to
online copies) for the older T-related publications mentioned by Ozan
and others are included as well.

Also, from an implementation perspective, I strongly recommend David Kranz's
classic thesis on the Orbit compiler. (A link to an online copy is in the
bibliography
as well.)
