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!). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Scott Telford Janet: scott@uk.ac.hw.cs / scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Internet: scott%cs.hw.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk | | Dept of Computer Science uucp: scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | | Heriot-Watt University | | 79 Grassmarket "This time it was right, it would work, and | | Edinburgh EH1 2HJ no-one would have to get nailed to anything." | | United Kingdom - Intro to The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry for bothering you ... can I get Origami sources from you, or
could you give me a few more details of the email server (like where
to send the requests, and the syntax of such requests)?
Thanks.
Paul.
