- 1. What is origami ?
- --------------------
- Origami is a folding editor.
-
- Folds are used to hide text, so you will find your point of interest
- faster and have a clearer structure. The fold information will be
- written in the textfile, but you can compile all textfiles without
- deleting the fold information.
-
- Origami has all important features needed by users. This includes :
- * freely configurable keyboard tables
- * powerfull macro language (OCL)
- * AREXX port (beta version)
- * powerfull standard macros like fill-paragraph,
- regular-expression-search, towers-of-hanoi and many others
-
- For more information read the file doc/intro.
-
- 2. What do you need to run origami ?
- ------------------------------------
- First you need the executable called origami.
-
- Origami needs to read two files :
- .origamimsg : This file contains all the messages origami will print.
- .origamirc : This file contains all the macro definitions and the
- keyboard definition. It also contains the arexx definition
- and the help pages.
- Origami needs both files to run. If they are not found, origami will
- exit. The namebase (standard .origami) can be changed by using the
- -k option.
-
- The files are search in the S: directory and all directories specified
- in the ORIPATH environment variable. You can also use the -R option to
- specify a different directory.
-
- Please read the man/origami.1 file for more information.
-
- 3. What is included in the package ?
- ------------------------------------
- The whole origami package contains several directories :
- The first list of directories is defined in the Origami_<version>.lha
- distribution.
- AmigaDocs : this directory contains all amiga specific documents and
- the bug.fixes file.
- bin : this directory contains the amiga executables.
- man :
- doc : These directories contain the information about the origami
- and the additional programs.
- rexx : this directory contains some useful arexx scripts. At this
- time only some test scripts are included, but if you have some
- interesting scripts, I will surely include them there.
-
- The second archive (Origami_Bind_<revision>.lha) contains the
- binding files.
- bindings : here you can find the files, describing the keysequences
- origami will listen for... (read the manual for more infos)
-
- The third archive (Origami_Docs_<revision>.lha contains the sources of
- the origami folding editor :
- doc :
- man : These directories contain nroff and awk sources of the ascii
- documents distributed in the other archive.
- scripts : This directory contains some scripts useful on unix/linux
- operating systems.
- src : Contains the complete source and the directory with the amiga
- port sources (see below).
-
- The source directory has several subdirectories :
- Amiga : here you can find the special files and Smakefiles used in the
- amiga port.
- autoalias, dirfold, h, keybind, origami, lib, viewrc :
- These directories contain the complete unix source.
-
- You will need the Origami_<version>.lha archive only, if you just want
- to run origami without changing anything.
-
- You will need the Origami_Bind_<revision>.lha archive, too, if you
- want to change the existing bindings or use some of the macros in
- your own binding.
-
- The third archive (Origami_Srcs_<revision>.lha) contains all the things,
- you need to compile origami on the amiga or any other os. So you will
- not need it in most cases.
-
- 4. How do i install origami ?
- -----------------------------
- To install origami use the commodore installer with the install_origami
- script in the main directory.
-
- 5. Which docs should I read ?
- -----------------------------
- There are several documtentation files in this distribution.
- You will not have to read every bit of information, so i will give
- you a short description of the files :
-
- doc/intro : This file contains more information about folding editors
- and origamis concept of storing file information.
- man/<executable>.man : These files contain a short description of
- the commands and a detailed option list.
- AmigaDocs/README.AMIGA : This file contains all additional feature
- provided by the amiga version.
- AmigaDocs/README.AREXX : This file gives a short introduction in
- origamis way to use the Arexx port.
- AmigaDocs/bug.fixes : This file contains all (fixed and not-fixed)
- bugs of the current version and additional or changed features.
- bindings/[*fun/]*.r : These files contain the reference card
- descriptions of the functions defined in the responding marco
- file (the file without the .r). Some of the macro packages do
- not have any descriptions (this will be changed sometime.).
-
- You should read the bug.fixes file everytime you get a new version.
- You should read the origami.man and maybe view the keybind.man files,
- if you use origami for the first time.
- You should read the AMIGA.README, if you use the Amiga version of
- origami the first time.
- You should read the manual and the keybind.man and viewrc.man files
- and the bindings/fun/*.r files, if you want to change the standard
- keybinds or if you want to develope a completly new binding.
