Re: omega 1.11 (was: PStricks)
(Incidentally, the reason that I asked my earlier question was that I installed Omega 1.11 on our site recently, and was concerned that if it wasn't in teTeX, then maybe it was because it was a buggy version or something. With the second question about the contents of ftp.dante.de, Well, if you had asked that more directly, my answer would have been: I did not yet test Omega 1.11, but I think that 1.11 was used for the TeX Live 5 build. Maybe, Sebastian et. al. can give some comments on the quallity of Omega 1.11. I was thinking that there was a mirroring problem on dante; I've seen such things occurring in the past. Oh, I was not aware of these problems, but I think that the CTAN maintainers might be interested to hear about any such problem. Neither question was meant as veiled criticism.) Ok. I was wondering a little about the intention of your mails about Omega 1.11, but you last mail is a perfect explanation! Thomas
