=========
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/omega/
\pagedir The direction for pages (\shipout).
\bodydir The direction for vboxes, including the main body of text.
=========
Think of footnote numerals etc. IIRC: Without \pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT the
footnote numerals will appear on the left despite \pardir and \textdir.
I still don't completely _separately_ understand \pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT,
but together they seem to make sense to me. Taco once started explainig
these two to Hans and I a few months back but that thread was never
completed... I'll look up where we left things off.
Best wishes
Idris
