Omega - teTeX (and MikTeX) HowTo

2004-01-03 Thread Mostafa Modirrousta
bA salAm,

I have never used omega option in LaTeX but recently saw a sample, arabic
one, and tried to reproduce it with no chance, specially that official
site of omega seems to be gone!

What I noticed was that the omega.sty that I have under Linux, teTeX, has
Roozbeh's name on it and the one in MikTeX does not. I thought maybe
someone here might be willing to help me run omega under both linux and
windows to write persian texts.

I didn't even know that I had to run omega instead of latex on my *.tex
file but again, the difference of versions and lack of documentation is
hindering me from doing it right.

Thanks in adavance for any help,
Mostafa Modirrousta

Actually the official site would not help too much.  But their
CVS repo does.

Version ofcourse.  In my teTeX I have Omega 1.23.2 which IIRC is
almost the latest version, but MikTeX should have a pretty old
(stable) one.

Actually you need to run lambda instead of latex, and omega
instead of tex.

I'm going to setup a working system too.  Gush, the one in teTeX
works very good for me.  You know, using omega is pretty trickey,
you need to set up a system yourself.  There is one I have wrote
called faanoos.  Very experimental ofcourse.  I have put a sample
input TeX and output PS files here for a few days:
