Well, I have received many varied replies to my original question:
What is the closest thing that there is to Emacs on the PS/2 running
OS/2?

First of all, thanks to everybody who answered, both in private email
and in public postings.  It was all very helpful.  Also, my apologies
to starting a flame war on gnu.emacs.help.  I didn't mean to.

Second of all, all that I am placing in this message is information
about free software.

Here are the results.

1. GNU emacs does not run on OS/2.  Someone is currently working on a
   port, but has not gotten it to Beta (or even Alpha) level yet.  In
   fact, it will not work until OS/2 goes to version 2.0 (because of
   horrendous things that it does with pointers).

2. MicroEmacs 3.10 has been ported to OS/2.  It is free and can be
   ftp'd from mims-iris.waterloo.edu and funic.funet.fi.  It has a
   C-like extension language.  It also runs on other systems.
