Ok, but what about those of us who use Omega for mission-critical work? And those would be installing the newest beta-test versions of teTeX for what particular reason? "Mission-critical" and "beta-test" are not the best match. Why can't you just stick with the last version you shipped, 1.15? Where "mission-critical" is concerned, I think you yourself are the best judge about what version of Omega might be the most appropriate for you. Get and compile that. Anyway, I think it's very sad seeing Omega removed from teTeX for what may be an indefinite period of time. How about telling that to the Omega developers? -- David Kastrup Phone: +49-234-32-25570 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: +49-234-32-14209 Institut für Neuroinformatik, Universitätsstr. 150, 44780 Bochum, Germany
