Argh! I got omega 1.0 from the nasa site. And, of course, it was a very
nice bug-free version - which will not, under any known circumstances,
run on a 3000. ARGH!

I have two things to say:
1] Couldn't someone who's done a port just put the source up for ftp? I
  know omega like the back of my hand (rewrote a copy of it once) and as
  such, could probably fix it myself a lot faster than I could get it from
  everyone else...

2] Though it's been said before, no one seems to listen...
  People, Commodore puts out *rules* for programming Amigae. If you follow
  the rules, your programs will work on all future amigas. Please, folks,
  follow the damn rules! There is *no* excuse for a game not working properly
  on any amiga, under any workbench, whether or not there is fast memory.
  Really, people, it's true: You *can* specify chip memory where you need
  it. You don't have to require nofastmems... ;-)

Apart from that, I'm sure it's a wonderful port. *grr*

ps: is it just me, or is it impossible to get anything done right unless you
  do it yourself? Sheeshh...
