this kind of defs are best done with the filter definition macros

so, is \clearocplists a primitive ? [can you mail me a properly pdf'd or
ps'd manual of omega; i can only generate an ugly unreadable bitmap version
with missing charactrers]

the latest fptex binaries work, so i can now generate an omega format (at
the cost of large mem values)

this maybe due to otp lookahead (omega is a hungry program); i got quite
some \CLOBBERED (funny enough an undefined primitive) messages to the screen;

that's for later,

not needed, there are enough hooks to get things done properly
btw, adding
\definetypeface [omarab] [tt] [mono] [computer-modern] [default]
to the xxx file helps -)
