One of the two responses I got was from a germanic site as I recall.

Well, if you just try to use emx-0.9b, some Ada programs will no
longer link, so there was more to it than this. Are you saying that
the solution was to use the gnat's emx0.9a development, with the
emx0.9b "runtime" installed on top?

From memory, what happened was:
o I installed the latest (3.01) version of GNAT for OS/2, with
the limited emx0.9a distribution available at that same site.
o I installed the latest (19.30) version of emacs for OS/2. The
installation procedure complained that emx0.9b is required, and
bailed out.
o I uninstalled emx0.9a (and GNAT), downloaded and installed emx0.9b.
o I installed emacs. This time the procedure worked, and emacs
worked.
o I reinstalled the latest version of GNAT, and some of the
examples would no longer link.
o After several further hours of tinkering, I discovered that you
have to go back to a pre-19.28 version of emacs, before it will
work with GNAT's emx. For those of you who are keeping score,
the emacs-ada lisp bindings require modification to work with such
an early version of emacs.
(if you have 8 hours or so to blow, feel free to try this at home
yourself).
