Actually, I was mistaken about this. There are instructions for building 
it under OS/2 in arch/os2/README, but they don't work for me.... I get 
this error which I can't resolve:-

gcc -Zmt -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -I. -I..  -I../lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-DSYSCONFFILE=\".\a2ps.cfg\" -c lister.c -o lister.o
lister.c:62: conflicting types for `fputs'
c:\emx\include\stdio.h:128: previous declaration of `fputs'
make[1]: *** [lister.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/eval/a2ps/a2ps-4.13/lib'
make: *** [a2ps_lib] Error 2
