Actually for building Plucker don't care about OS/2. I mean, there
is no compiler for PalmOS-apps, so on OS/2 nobody will try to actually
build the package. Besides most OS/2 users wouldn't want to build
anything at all. ;)

If it is a plain TeX-package it should work on OS/2. Concerning emTeX
I must say, that it is allmost unchanged for about 4 years now. And
besides the fact that I wrote the docs on OS/2 I'm pretty sure that
nobody would want to build Plucker nor the docs on that platform. So
you can quite safely leave OS/2 out of scope for that purpose.
And though I really miss my WPS even I had to change my OS recently
to Unix. I strongly hope that the GNOME-people get some of the WPS
functionality working soon. (Templates and stuff which I really miss...)
Concerning mikTeX: As far as I saw from the installation I did for our
secretary at the university it is some sort of teTeX-port. I'd suspect
that everything that works on teTeX will work on mitTeX as well and
in allmost the same fashion. As soon as there is some time I've to install
quite a lot of packages there (RevTeX and stuff like that) and then
I can tell you how compatible it actually is. I want to just copy all the
stuff from our Unix-cluster to that machine run the index generator
and see what happens. If it works, well it would be quite compatible.
Ah, BTW. mikTeX has recently replaced emTeX on Windows, just FYI. That
is before mikTeX became largely known emTeX was there a standard as well.
The reason is that emTeX is (in parts) "family mode" that is an app that
can run both on OS/2 as well as on DOS natively.
About the Mac and a Non-GUI-DOS, I can't comment at all.
