the Loglan-related conlang known as "Plan A"?

I believe that you are referring to "Plan B" (Loglan itself having been 'Plan A').

http://www.rickharrison.com/language/plan_b.html
has the only published description that I know of

Plna B was developed by Jeff Prothero, who was one of the major people involved in making Loglan have a YACC-parsable machine grammar. Jeff is also practically a co-founder of Lojban, since he helped finance the legal battle with JCB and provided much assistance on our getting our own YACC-grammar.

Jeff is a computer person and not a linguist, and his description shows that emphasis.
http://www.geocities.com/raredata/conlanghumor.txt
has several messages from conlang, one of which was linguist Jacques Guy's interpretation of the Plan B description from his (a linguist's) point of view, and proposes his own variation which he calls Cee (i.e Plan C).
