-.SH NAME
-omega, iniomega, viromega \- extended unicode TeX
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B omega
-.RI [ options ]
-[\fB&\fR \fIformat\fR ]
-[ \fIfile\fR | \fB\e\fR \fIcommands\fR ]
-.\"=====================================================================
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Run the Omega typesetter on
-.IR file ,
-usually creating
-.IR file.dvi .
-If the file argument has no extension, ".tex" will be appended to it.
-Instead of a filename, a set of Omega commands can be given, the first
-of which must start with a backslash.
-With a
-.BI & format
-argument Omega uses a different set of precompiled commands,
-contained in
-.IR format.fmt ;
-it is usually better to use the
-.B -fmt
-.I format
-option instead.
-.PP
-Omega is a version of the \*(TX program modified for multilingual
-typesetting. It uses unicode, and has additional primitives for
-(among other things) bidirectional typesetting.
-.PP
-The
-.B iniomega
-and
-.B viromega
-commands are Omega's analogues to the
-.B initex
-and
-.B virtex
-commands. In this installation, they are symlinks to the
-.B omega
-executable.
-.PP
-Omega's command line options are similar to those of \*(TX.
-.PP
-Omega is experimental software.
-.\"=====================================================================
-.SH OPTIONS
-This version of Omega understands the following command line options.
-.TP
-.BI --oft \ format
-.rb
-Use
-.I format
-as the name of the format to be used, instead of the name by which
-Omega was called or a
-.I %&
-line.
-.TP
-.B -halt-on-error
-.rb
-Exit with an error code when an error is encountered during processing.
-.TP
-.B --help
-.rb
-Print help message and exit.
-.TP
-.B --ini
-.rb
-Be
-.BR iniomega ,
-for dumping formats; this is implicitly true if the program is called
-as
-.BR iniomega .
-.TP
-.BI --interaction \ mode
-.rb
-Sets the interaction mode. The mode can be one of
-.IR batchmode ,
-.IR nonstopmode ,
-.IR scrollmode ,
-and
-.IR errorstopmode .
-The meaning of these modes is the same as that of the corresponding
-\ecommands.
-.TP
-.B --ipc
-.rb
-Send DVI output to a socket as well as the usual output file. Whether
-this option is available is the choice of the installer.
-.TP
-.B --ipc-start
-.rb
-As
-.BR --ipc ,
-and starts the server at the other end as well. Whether this option
-is available is the choice of the installer.
-.TP
-.BI --kpathsea-debug \ bitmask
-.rb
-Sets path searching debugging flags according to the bitmask. See the
-.I Kpathsea
-manual for details.
-.TP
-.BI --maketex \ fmt
-.rb
-Enable
-.RI mktex fmt ,
-where
-.I fmt
-must be one of
-.I tex
-or
-.IR tfm .
-.TP
-.BI --no-maketex \ fmt
-.rb
-Disable
-.RI mktex fmt ,
-where
-.I fmt
-must be one of
-.I tex
-or
-.IR tfm .
-.TP
-.BI --output-comment \ string
-.rb
-Use
-.I string
-for the DVI file comment instead of the date.
-.TP
-.BI -output-directory \ directory
-.rb Write output files in
-.I directory
-instead of the current directory. Look up input files in
-.I directory
-first, the along the normal search path.
-.TP
-.B --parse-first-line
-.rb
-If the first line of the main input file begins with
-.I %&
-parse it to look for a dump name.
-.TP
-.BI --progname \ name
-.rb
-Pretend to be program
-.IR name .
-This affects both the format used and the search paths.
-.TP
-.B --recorder
-.rb
-Enable the filename recorder. This leaves a trace of the files opened
-for input and output in a file with extension
-.IR .ofl .
-(This option is always on.)
-.TP
-.B --shell-escape
-.rb
-Enable the
-.BI \ewrite18{ command }
-construct. The
-.I command
-can be any Bourne shell command. This construct is normally
-disallowed for security reasons.
-.TP
-.B --version
-.rb
-Print version information and exit.
-.\"=====================================================================
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-See the Kpathsearch library documentation (the `Path specifications'
-node) for precise details of how the environment variables are used.
-The
-.B kpsewhich
-utility can be used to query the values of the variables.
-.PP
-One caveat: In most Omega formats, you cannot use ~ in a filename you
-give directly to Omega, because ~ is an active character, and hence is
-expanded, not taken as part of the filename. Other programs, such as
-\*(MF, do not have this problem.
-.PP
-.TP
-TEXMFOUTPUT
-Normally, Omega puts its output files in the current directory. If
-any output file cannot be opened there, it tries to open it in the
-directory specified in the environment variable TEXMFOUTPUT.
-There is no default value for that variable. For example, if you say
-.I tex paper
-and the current directory is not writable, if TEXMFOUTPUT has
-the value
-.IR /tmp ,
-Omega attempts to create
-.I /tmp/paper.log
-(and
-.IR /tmp/paper.dvi ,
-if any output is produced.)
-.TP
-TEXINPUTS
-Search path for
-.I \einput
-and
-.I \eopenin
-files.
-This should probably start with ``.'', so
-that user files are found before system files. An empty path
-component will be replaced with the paths defined in the
-.I texmf.cnf
-file. For example, set TEXINPUTS to ".:/home/usr/tex:" to prepend the
-current direcory and ``/home/user/tex'' to the standard search path.
-.TP
-TEXEDIT
-Command template for switching to editor. The default, usually
-.BR vi ,
-is set when Omega is compiled.
-.\"=====================================================================
-.SH FILES
-The location of the files mentioned below varies from system to
-system. Use the
-.B kpsewhich
-utility to find their locations.
-.TP
-.I omega.pool
-Encoded text of Omega's messages.
-.TP
-.I *.oft
-Predigested Omega format (.\|oft) files.
-.br

-.SH NOTES
-This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
-documentation for this version of Omega can be found in the info
-manual
-.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" .
-.\"=====================================================================
-.SH BUGS
-This version of Omega implements a number of optional extensions.
-In fact, many of these extensions conflict to a greater or lesser
-extent with the definition of Omega. When such extensions are
-enabled, the banner printed when Omega starts is changed to print
-.B Omegak
-instead of
-.BR Omega .
-.PP
-This version of Omega fails to trap arithmetic overflow when
-dimensions are added or subtracted. Cases where this occurs are rare,
-but when it does the generated
-.I DVI
-file will be invalid.
-.PP
-The
-.I DVI
-files produced by Omega may use extensions which make them incompatible
-with most software designed to handle
-.I DVI
-files. In order to print or preview them, you should use
-.B odvips
-to generate a PostScript file.
-.PP
-Omega is experimental software, and if you are an active user it is
-strongly recommended that you subscribe to the Omega mailing list.
