A link to that on your homepage would be a great thing, even if it's
only temporary...

BTW the quickstart.txt mentions running a command './omega' but this
doesn't seem to exist in the RPM either. So it's not very clear what to
do next...

In fact 'omega' seems to be a command that ships with some other
package-- something to do with TeX. Cool... version pi :-P :-\

[root at cruncher2 html]# omega -?
omega: unrecognized option `-?'
