Unless you've been reading the USENET newsgroups comp.os.minix or
alt.sources, you may not be aware that a new, enhanced version of the
Origami folding text editor has been released.

This version (1.5) was modified by Michael Haardt and Wolfgang Stumvoll
of the RWTH (no, I don't know what it stands for) in Aachen, Germany,
from the C/Unix port of v1.31 that was recently put on the INMOS US
archive-server.

They have basically turned Origami into an Emacs-lookalike editor, with
a screen display very like MicroEMACS, and a new (compiled) keybinding/macro
language (OCL) similar to GNU Emacs' Emacs Lisp. Some bugs have been
fixed, and a few other changes made, such as dBase mode being replaced
by roff mode, and fewer termcap capabilites are needed. Some extra
Emacs functions have been implemented (eg. goto-matching-fence,
fill-paragraph) using OCL - there is even a Towers of Hanoi macro
supplied!

Two keybinding files are provided with the source: one emulating GNU
Emacs, the other emulating Parsytec's MultiTool (it says here).

It seems to have been developed on a Minix system but it also compiles
under SunOS. A User Guide and man page are also supplied with the source.

A few thing still need to be fixed: TAB still does nothing (easily
fixed) and filed folds still need to be in the current directory for
Origami to find them, but it's a big improvement over 1.31, and
probably the most painless way yet to edit TDS-format files for an
Emacs-addict.

The source files originally posted in comp.os.minix are now available
by e-mail archive-server or anonymous FTP at plains.nodak.edu in
directory pub/Minix/all.contrib/Origami. The author's e-mail address is
u31b3hs@cip-s01.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (whew!).
