Hi gang,

A few of you have written to me about Arabic support for ConTeXt as well as modifying
EDMAC to use RL support in Omega. It is my intention to provide some info/how-to on
this in the next couple of weeks, as soon as I finish some research.

In the meantime, I suggest anyone interested in this to get their hands on e-Omega
1.15 (Omega + eTeX functionality). This is the version the how-to will be based upon.
It is available for fpTeX and MiKTeX; I'm not sure when a version will be available
for teTeX, though Thomas Esser may cooperate with anyone willing to provide a separate
patch.

Best wishes
Idris
