platforms for which you don't have the TeX source, or = (probably)
if you only have a pascal compiler. Pretend I'm a Mac = user and
tell me how to install an omega-only-latex on = textures.

> - Is it basically clear to the LaTeX experts what = needs to be done,
these things always seem clear at the beginning, = cloudy in the middle
and clear at the end that the original idea was wrong = and what you
implemented was better than what you = specified.


> - How do such changes compare with what is being = done anyway for
>   LaTeX3?
different.

> - Will things get harder or easier with = Omega?
If it isn't easier to handle unicode in Omega than in = standard TeX then
something is radically wrong with the world.

> This is a situation we should REALLY = avoid!
I would like that too. Tell me how!
