Shame on you for not reading your emTeX docs. emTeX was, in fact,
developed _for_ OS/2. The fact that it is also available in DOS
versions is just a happy side-affect

The only OS/2-specific drivers I have listed are the emTeX ones.
I'd be glad to hear of others.

I imagine that the DOS version of dvips would at least run in a
DOS compatibility box. On the other hand, getting Zortech C++ or
the next version of Borland C++ (I think that OS/2 support is
still in the future tense for them) would allow you to readily
port dvips to OS/2.
