EmTeX is available on the ftp-os2.nmsu.edu server.  You will want to
use the 386 version of TeX that runs fast under OS/2 2.0.  Although
still called a beta, it has been out for a long long time and I have
never encountered a problem with it.  There is a great previewer too
for OS/2.  It comes with the Emtex package and is called dvipm.  The
latest revision is 1.4s I believe.  It will run at the resolution of
your desktop.

Since you are new to OS/2, you should download the file 00Index from
ftp-os2 in /pub/os2 and see all the stuff they have... it is extensive
and growing fast.
