Ahhhhhhhhhh!
seit zwei wochen versuche ich nun diesen **** server zu erreichen,
das einzige was passiert nach ewigen warten passiert ist ein ftp timeout!!!!
mail kommt auch nicht an (weder an postmaster noch an mhaardt...)
ok,jetzt gehts mir besser...
[flame off]
to be serious:
 since the anouncement of the new beta version of origami I tried to reach
this server from the US (to be specific: from Buffalo,NY, State University).
I never got anything else than a ftp timeout, right when ftp tries to connect
to the server. 
   The normal thing then is to send some mail, and ask for the programs, but
that did also not work, since all my mail bounced, because of a delivery time
of more than 5 days. 
   I tried various other things too, eg. tftp, using a system in albany as
relaystation, I even went over a public telnet account in stuttgart and tried
to ftp it from there(did also not work: guest logins have no diskspace...).
  So here is my (desperate) last try:

Dear Mr. Michael Haardt,
I liked your implementation of origami very much and would really appreciate
it if you send it over to me here in buffalo. It would be nice if you send it
within two weeks, because afterwards I'll no longer have any netaccess.
Yours

Ps.: the only bug i found in origami 1.5 under sunos4.1 with mtools
keybindings was to get a segmentation error everytime I saved from within a
subfold.
