Note that I said ``eomega'':-), soon to be Aleph. Giuseppe and others have 
spearheaded an effort to take the best of Omega and combine it with eTeX 
in a stable, usable package. The latest eomega already largely fulfills 
this promise, and you can try the basic package announced to the list. 
Join the Aleph list if you can; it's pretty low volume.

As soon as our own (Alan Hoenig and myself) package reaches the point 
where we can release a test package, I'll announce it here and let you 
know. (The main issue holding up a release is the use of a proprietary 
font, and font work is sooooo time-consuming, not to mention my regular 
work).

Best
Idris
