Dear friends,

After an exchange with Giuseppe Bilotta on CTT,  I am interested in trying out ConTeXt 
with Omega. How does one install the ConTeXt format under Omega? I know that the 
ConTeXt is compiled 
with pdf-e-TeX, and that ConTeXt has hooks into features specific to that format. My 
situation is that I do a lot of multilingual typesetting under Omega using features 
not available in pdf-e-TeX. I am 
would like to test the claim of ConTeXt's improved typesetting functionality over 
LaTeX in a multilingual context (mainly scholarly Arabic). I've looked at the install 
manual and did a standard install of 
ConTeXt as well, but it's not clear to me exactly how to proceed to compile it under 
Omega 1.15. Has anyone tried ConTeXt-Omega before? Any reports?

Also:
1. While Omega itself will not support the pdfTeX and e-TeX extensions of ConTeXt, 
will dvipdfm at least support some of the pdf-related stuff in ConTeXt?

2. R there any documents which give a good comparison and contrast of LaTeX vs. 
ConTeXt? (But I thnk Giuseppe Bilotta 4 the comments he made on CTT)

3. I am totally new here & have never tried ConTeXt before, nor do I have much 
experience with iniTeX (since formats r usually loaded during installation of TeX) and 
am interested in any comments. 
how-to's, or suggestions any of u may have in getting this to work.

Thnx in advance and best wishes
Idris
