Hello outthere, 

	I've been running TeX (emTeX vers. 3.0[3a]) on my 286 PC with 640 kB
for a while now. I'm considering buying a new computer (386 or 486) and
maybe changing to OS/2. Now my question is: Is there an TeX version running
OS/2 vers 2.0 (and is it an 32-bit application?).
	Also I would like to know is there is a DVI-file viewer for OS/2 2.0
and if so, does this viewer use OS/2's font-capabilities (Adobe stuff) or do
you still have to keep massive amounts of font-files lying around ??
	How about printer output - will the Adobe stuff help here?? Would 
DVIPS work under OS/2? Would GhostScript?

Lots of questions ... :-)
	
Regards,

Jens Markussen (fedtmule@diku.dk)
