Appreciate your great help! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Please read the INSTALL file that comes with the package. Actually reading the documentation can be wonderfully liberating, and is a skill that can work wonders in life. Please get some practice in. You might even work out which list supports Omegahat packages.
