+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label omega</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>The Omega project</h3>
+<p>Omega
+
+is a program built by extension of the TeX sources which works
+internally with 'wide' characters (it is capable of dealing with all
+of Unicode version 3); this allows it to work with most scripts in the
+world with few difficulties from coding schemes.
+Omega also has a
+powerful concept of input and output filters to allow the user to work
+with existing transliteration schemes, <em>etc</em>.
+<p>A part of the project is to develop a version of LaTeX to work with
+Omega, styled
+"Lambda".
+<p>
+
+<p>Omega was first released in November 1996
+by the project originators, John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous; a
+recent version is maintained on CTAN. General project
+information, as well as copies papers, are available via the
+
+ <a href="http://omega.enstb.org">project's web site</a>.
+<p>Implementations of Omega
+are available as part of the teTeX,
+mikTeX, fpTeX and CMacTeX distributions
+(see <a href="FAQ-TeXsystems.html">TeX systems</a>), as well as
+in <a href="FAQ-CD.html">TeX Live</a>.
+<p>A related project, <a href="FAQ-aleph.html">Aleph</a>, has merged a version of
+Omega with the facilities of
+<a href="FAQ-NTS.html">e-TeX</a>, as a pathfinder for potential future Omega
+development.
