EMX is an interface program that provides a compatible Unix
like execution environment that is common to OS/2 and DOS.
It would certainly be appropriate to include this as part of
the OS/2 release in the next Walnut Creek Ada CD-ROM (we have
included it in previous OS/2 releases). It is free software
(for Tom, that is free as in free speech :-) and is not
Ada specific!

In any case, EMX is easily downloaded from a number of sources
(CD ROM as a distribution mechanism gets less and less
significant every day as more and more people have decent
internet access). For example, we can provide GNAT Professional
on CD ROM if necessary, but the number of cases in which that
is necessary is much smaller than it used to be.
