It's nice to see you got this working. I don't use the latest Omega 1.23.2; still 1.15 here and compiling Gamma works on teTeX and fpTeX without a hitch (for some applications you may have to increase the appropriate texmf.cnf values). Giuseppe has ported much of the eTeX functionality to Omega1.15 (eOmega1.15). Once this is tested and debugged it will make Gamma much easier to run maintain, at least until the Omega people release a stable, fast Omega (one day, perhaps this century;->). As Giuseppe notes, 1.23.2 passes the TRIP test but not 1.15; yet 1.15 works better for most practical purposes and large projects (speed, etc.). Right now, eOmega is only available for MiKTeX; I'm still anxiously awaiting fpTeX (or even teTeX) binaries so I can test it. I am also pursuing some funding avenues for this work.

hello all,
after on-and-off effort, I finally get context + omega working. The result is impressive. hat off to hans and idris samawi for their effort. omega is a tex version that support utf-8 input. it can be used to typeset arabic. here are some of the things I discovers that might be useful to others;
