Hi naïve question (I'm the naïve guy you all helped with my Ukrainian 
[Thanks!] ... who is now trying to put RtoL quotations in Arabic in an 
English 'book' ...), but ....

Can anyone comment on Omega ?

I've visted the website, downloaded the software, joined the mailing list ... 
done all that ... just need someone with three or more years more experience 
than myself to sum up whether I'm being idealistic in hoping for a snappy 
universal-encoding2pdf processor, or not?
