I've had a few requests about getting the Origami 1.5 source so here's
all I know:

The comp.os.minix archive server (archive-server@plains.nodak.edu) will
respond with a directory list to a mail message containing the text
"index <directory>" so if you say something like:

	index Minix/all.contrib/Origami

you should get a listing of the relevant files (apparently they'll be
in tar format). If it's a standard archive-server, the command "help"
should return a help file and the command for pulling files will be
"send <filename>", but I haven't actually used this one.

By anonymous FTP it's in pub/Minix/all.contrib/Origami. I don't know
the IP address for FTP but the archive maintainer is
overby@plains.nodak.edu (Glen Overby), so you could try asking him.

plains.nodak.edu is also PLAINS on Bitnet and uunet!plains on Usenet.

Has anyone tried to compile this program? I got it this morning, and
first had problems with the ANSII "stdlib.h" not being on our SPARC
machine. Now I have got a compiler error from using the "strstr"
function in one of the files. I'm beginning to regret the time I have
wasted on it.

I was able to get Origami running on our Sun 3/160, SunOS 4.0.3 without too
much work.  I had to change all the occurrences of '#include <stdlib.h>' to
'#include <sys/file.h>', cast all mallocs to the proper type, and write a
'strstr' routine.  If you are interested in getting my modifications, email
me.  If there is enough interest, I could probably even put the source up on
NCSA's anonymous FTP.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Martin Green and Charlie
Lawrence for making such a great editor possible;  it's all I use now!  Kudos
to you both.

Touche. Straight after I posted my original article I did more or less
the same thing as you say above, #including <sys/file.h> and writing
my own 'strstr'. I didn't bother to cast the mallocs, though. I
suppose they were the source of all the incompatible type warnings (I
didn't check at the time).

I got the thing to compile and run, ran the program to allow me to use
emacs-style key bindings, and got no further. Half the keys don't seem
to work (including the normal alphanumeric keys). Maybe I'm missing
something obvious - my experience with a folding editor is limited.
