I first started to use e-Omega and ConTeXt with the fpTeX distribution,
which had e-Omega 1.15 installed. Later I switched to W32TeX (a Japanese
distribution) which had version 1.23. I just saw that a few days ago, the
maintainer of W32TeX stopped including version 1.23 and he is now using
1.15--2.1-RC1. Is that the newest version? I'll give that version a try. I
have good hopes for this version since I've heard you removed some bugs from
it. I'm sure that everything will go fine now. Please give me some time to
dig up my old e-Omega code from a dark corner of my HDD and I'll let you
know how everything worked out!

By the way, what is the best way to use e-Omega with ConTeXt? Is there
anything I have to keep in mind? The last time I used e-Omega with ConTeXt,
I made the format with 'texexec --make --alone --tex=eomega en'. And then
use 'texexec --tex=eomega <filename>' to make output. Is this still the
correct way?

Anyway, thank you for keeping Omega alive. I always thought that Omega was a
great idea, but that the lack of a stable version ruined everything. But now
it appears that you have made it useable.

Well, if my first tests work out great, then I'll know what I'll be doing
this coming weekend! :-) 

My best,
Tim
