As far as I know Richard Stallman does not believe in machines with 16-bit
ints. Since OS/2 only uses the 80286 (even on a 80386) so far, Gnu Emacs
will be difficult to port.

But maybe in a few years OS/2 will start using the true 80386 (when all
80286 machines have died already) and then it can be done...

Paul.
