I have found the 286 version of emTeX to be quite satisfactory. I run it
in a DOS box in Windows Enhanced mode, giving it a couple of meg of
expanded memory, and it runs just fine. Sure, it's not as fast as the
386 version, but it can typeset 25 pages (and I use intricate macros and
odd fonts!) per minute on my PC.

It would be very nice if the 386 version of emTeX were DPMI compliant,
but until that happens, I have no reason to switch.
