-<h3>Omega and Aleph</h3>
-<p/>Omega was developed as an extension of
-TeX, to use with multilingual texts, expressed in a variety of
-input encodings. Omega uses 16-bit, Unicode-encoded, characters. It
-provides many innovative concepts, notably including the &ldquo;translation
-process&rdquo; that takes a character stream and transforms it according to
-various processes that may be internally specified, or be a separate
-program.
-<p/>While Omega showed a lot of promise at its mid-1990s announcement, its
-development was slow, and development was essentially dead by the time
-that one of the original developers withdrew (taking with him a bunch
-of research students).
-<p/>Before that distressing event, a separate thread of development was
-started, to produce a program called Aleph
-, which merged the facilities of
-<a href="FAQ-etex.html">e-TeX</a> into a stable Omega codebase and added other
-extensions. Aleph also proved an attractive platform for many people;
-but its development, too, has dried up.
-<p/>The latest news (from EuroTeX 2006) is that development of Omega is
-picking up again, in parallel with research into what the (new)
-authors consider a rational scheme for supporting TeX-style
-typesetting. The new system is to be known as Omega-2
-(Omega subscript 2), and is being
-designed in a modular fashion so that support of new facilities (such
-as use of advanced OpenType fonts) can be added in a relatively
-straightforward fashion.
-<p/>The work done in the Aleph project is also being carried forward in
-the <a href="FAQ-luatex.html">LuaTeX</a> project.
