I am waiting for Fabrice to make eomega 1.15 binaries (he said he would
try to
do something this week). If he takes too long I'll have to install
MiKTeX or
beg Thomas Esser to make Linux binaries. Then I have to test eomega to
make sure it at least does exhibit any fatal bugs above what already in
Omega1.15. But the journal sponsors will not be
able  to wait for all that;-) If there's anyway to get patches for the
relevant eTeX stuff I'll be quite grateful:-) 

In any case, this particular problem is apparently not Omega-related.
See
below.

Could you give me an example to try?

This does not solve my problem. Try running the following in plain tex
mode:
the title/chapter headings will not appear:

texexec --tex=tex test
==========test.tex=======
\setuphead[chapter][style=\sc,header=high]

\setuphead[title][%numberstyle=normal,
                    style=\sc,
                    alternative=middle,
                    %page=right,
                    %number=no,
                    %ownnumber=no,
                    %incrementnumber=no,
                    %continue=no,
                    header=high%,
                    %text=high,
                    %footer=empty,
                    %command=\tfc,
                    %after={\blank[small]%
                    %\blank[big,small]%
                    %\blank[disable]
                    %\placelogos[ijss]}%
                    ]

\setupheadertexts%
[][title][\Author][]%
\setupheader[style=\sc,state=high]

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,
                    location={footer,marginedge}]

\starttext

\title{Test Chapter1}
\def\Author{Author 1}

\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \input knuth \par}

\title{Test Chapter2}
\def\Author{Author 1}

\stoptext
======================

As always, thnx 4 your help. I hope this is soluble;-)
