 As Kim Best indicated, you can use Ghostscript for printing. If you do
have a postscript printer, there is an easier way. basicaly, all you need
to do is copy your ps file to lpt1 (or wherever your printer is located).
For example, you could type:
C:>copy c:\mymodels\file.ps to lpt1
You could also perform the same thing from MS Windows.
Your system will probably ask you if you are sure that you want to copy
over the existing file: disregard this. If your printer is in its postcript
mode, this should work. If it is not, be prepared for your printer to print
countless pages of postcript code (it turns out that a picture is woth a
lot more than a thousand words).

Happy printing,

Subject: Re: printing .ps files

On an "IBM compatible" PC such as a 486 or its predecessors, printing postscript
files is not a function
of the CPU or processor chip. All that matters is that you have either a
PostScript capable printer, or a
translation program to translate postscript into the language your printer
understands.

Some HP LaserJets are factory equipped with PostScript: These have "M" in the
name, eg LaserJet 4MP.
Other HP lasers have had PostScript added with a circuit board or special
cartridge by HP or such
manufacturers as Pacific Data.

If you use Windows, check the setup for your printer driver: if it is a
postscript printer there will be options in the
print setup such as "print to encapsulated PostScript file", and similar

On PCs, the name of the printer (either PRN or LPT1, if the printer is connected
to that port) can be treated
the same as the name of a special "file". So to send a file to the printer from
DOS you act like you're copying
the file to another file with the name PRN or LPT1:

copy PSFILE.EPS PRN         or        copy  PSFILE.EPS LPT1

(EPS is the common file extension for encapsulated Postscript files; some
programs make files with  a PSC extension.)

Postscript files are "plain ASCII" or "text" files. They contain a sort of
programming language that tells the Postscript
printer what to do. But since they are ASCII files, ANY printer will print them
out; but a non-PS printer such as a
regular HP laserjet will simply print the pages and pages of "text". It won't
hurt the printer, just waste a lot of paper!

Stephen has not dropped off the face of the earth -- he just walks around on

Subject: Re: Roses

Greetings! I love the pile of origami mail I get every Monday morning to
start off my work-week!

Jerry Harris replied to Janet Hamilton's request about how to complete
Kawasaki's rose...

This is EXACTLY what I did too (using the leaf and calyx from Eric
Kenneway's book, and in similar proportions). I also went to a craft store
and bought some floral wire and floral tape. The thicker gauge wire is for
the stem (slightly thinner than a coat hanger), bends easily and comes is
rose-ready lengths. I used the thinner floral wire to make short "stems"
for the leaves. Luckily the green washi I bought at the Japanese Paper
Place in Toronto was exactly the same dark green colour as standard floral
tape.

First I glued the leaves onto their short "stems" and wrapped the wire with
floral tape. Then to make the rose, the assembly is the same as Jerry
outlined, except for using floral tape instead of strips of paper. I start
at the top of the flower and work down, adding leaves as I go; the leaf
"stems" are secured by the spiral wrapping of the tape. The good thing
about floral tape is that is stretches slightly and lies flat, eliminating
the "cones" Jerry talks about. It is also slightly self adhesive. Secure it
at the top and bottom and no need to worry about it unwinding in between.

For a bouquet I make the roses slightly different sizes and vary the length
of the stems. I also use different leaf sizes and arrangements. I bend the
stems after they're all wrapped to make the roses more realistic.It takes
more time to make and assemble the components than it does to fold just the
rose flower! I spent months making 140 of these in coral, peach and white
for my wedding in 1992 (they were the centerpieces and also the take-home
favours). I have been reluctant to make any since!

Hi,
Does anyone knows where I might find diagrams for a model of an Akita? I've

Akitas look similar to huskies and chows, but with enough distinctive
characteristics that I'm sure someone's folded one. I don't think I'm

I'm sure someone else can translate this completely, but as a devotee

Subject: the kitty-sushi connection

The kitty is thinking "please give me tuna". I learned this from my sushi
guidebook. I know raw tuna is not the best thing for a cat, but this cat
(me) thinks it all the time. Every time I go for sushi I bring along an
origami model for the restaurant. If origami-dropping is done modestly it's
really appreciated, as I'm sure all money-folding tippers and napkin-rose
makers have experienced.
I'll turn off my signature this time...

Subject: Can I spread the word on Fidonet?

Hi all, in frustration at my earlier failures to access this listserver, I
set up a Fidonet ORIGAMI area & I'm trying to get some interest in it. If I
can persuade 6 BBS's to take it on, plus send a minimum of 15 or so
messages/week, it will be "backboned", ie. sent around every Fido node.

What I'd like is to pass on the more stimulating messages from ori-l by
resending them onto Fido (this must be done manually to be legal). If any
of you are prepared to grant this permission, please could you let me know?

Fido (for those who don't know) is a smaller version of Internet, based
largely on mail/news. It is run by amateurs & commercial enterprise is not
acceptable. The ORI area would be moderated (by me) in the unlikely event
of offensive messages.

Here's the moderators "rules";

1.0  THE ECHO
1.1  The name of this echo is Origami
1.2  The following subjects are on-topic for the echo:
         General chat
         Specific chat about paper-folding/art & crafts
         Using comms to help the above
         Within these activities, pretty much anything goes:
         All other subjects are off-topic.

2.0  THE MODERATOR
2.1  The present moderator of the echo is Nick Robinson, 2:250/405.666
2.2  The moderator may run the echo as he sees fat.
2.3  Unless the moderator appends the label 'Moderator' to his
         message, he is writing as an ordinary participant.

3.0  MODERATION
3.1  Moderation will be left to the moderator. Any complaint about
         the postings of another user should be made to the moderator
         *via netmail only*.
3.2  All moderation is performed in the echo so that other users are
         aware that action has been taken.
3.3  Where moderation is required, the moderator will normally follow
         a three-step procedure, with the hope that the first step will
         prove sufficient:
         - 1st offense: a brief message in the echo
         - 2nd offense: a formal warning in the echo
         - 3rd offense: a bar from the echo
         However, the moderator may skip step one and/or step two if he
         considers it to be appropriate, ie. if you mention scissors!
3.4  Comments about the rules are welcome, but must be netmailed
         and not made in the echo.

4.0  THE CARDINAL RULES
4.1  "No cutting or gluing"

5.0  ANNOYING BEHAVIOR
5.1  No flaming. That is, do not make personal attacks on other users,
         nor post messages which are likely to offend or annoy.
5.2  Do not over-quote.
5.3  Avoid repetition. That is, do not post identical (or near
         identical) text in more than one message.

6.0  USER NAMES
6.1  Users must use their real names in the 'From' field of the message.
6.2  Commonly-used abbreviations are permitted.
6.3  Nicknames and fictitious names may be used in the body of the
         message, provided that there is no attempt to deceive.

7.0  GREETING AND SIGNATURE LINES
7.1  Greeting lines are limited to a maximum of 20 characters
         on a single line.
7.2  Signature lines are limited to a maximum of 40 characters
         over a maximum of two lines.
7.3  The use of graphics in greeting and signature lines, other than
         something extremely brief like '/\../\', is prohibited.
7.4  Users may list ONE non-Fidonet email address in their signature,
         subject to rule 7.2. This is to permit the use of alternative
         networks which may be faster or more reliable than netmail.
         Fidonet addresses must NOT be included in the signature as this
         is automatically displayed in your origin line.
7.5  Taglines, tearlines and origin lines must conform to Fidonet rules.

8.0  TECHNICAL COMPATIBILITY
8.1  To ensure compatibility with all standard computers and software,
         use only ASCII codes 32 to 127 inclusive, plus ASCII codes 13
         (carriage-return) and 156 (pound sign in IBM character set).
8.2  Foreign accents are outside the permitted range.

9.0  NO RIGHT OF ACCESS
9.1  Access to this echo is a privilege, not a right. The moderator
         reserves the right of access in his absolute discretion.

10.0 DISCLAIMER
10.1 The moderator accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the
         messages posted in the echo.
10.2 You should assume that everyone, including the moderator,
         writes as a lay person with no specialist qualifications
         or expertise.
10.3 You are entirely responsible for your own actions, whether
         or not inspired or encouraged by any message(s) in this echo.
10.4 Specifically, always trust your own judgement and/or get
         expert advice on matters of safety. Bear in mind that route
         descriptions and grades presented in the echo may be out
         of date and/or subjective.

Dull innit?

I'm not sure exactly how the mechanism will work yet, but I'll keep you
informed. Obviously, messages with any kind of personal reference wouldn't
be passed on. Perhaps people could tag a "PD" for public domain after their
messages?

Comments/suggestions welcomed!

Hi, Jerry, or anyone,

Could you tell me the reference or book for "Dollar Bill Cat" by Stephen Weiss?
Oriindex search did not give me this model.

Another great dollar bill fold is Montroll's Walrus from "Origami Sculpters"
I also like to leave this little guy as tips in restaurants.

For a interesting little challenge, try folding Lang's Pegasus from
"Complete Origami" out of a dollar bill.  I know the proportions are not
quite right, but with a little bit of finess the extra bit of paper can
be made to behave.

You understand correctly. Animated (digitized video, actually) instructions
showing how to fold models (all simple/traditional, however) and photos of
models by the world's top folders. Not too many photos of the designer,
however, since most people didn't send one. That's okay, it adds to the

Hello,

I just received a registration form for Origami '95 & I was hoping to

Has anyone heard who is teaching and what courses will be taught?  My one
friend wasn't sure if she would be able to attend both days, and wasn't
sure which one to attend.

Where can I find directions for the exploding butterfly ball?

I've asked this before, but I thought that maybe someone new might have joined

will be dedicated this August in New Mexico?  I thought that they were collect-

As of now, the teaching schedule is very tenative. Basicaly, the techers
are made up of convention attendees, so until all of their forms are in, no
one really knows what is in store. The good news it that the conventions
have yet to dissapoint. With the tremendeous selection available, there

Often, models are so popular, that they are taught every year; the
butterflky ball is one of those. If you can't wait untill the convention,
the idea behiind the model is simple: you form lots of waterbomb bases, and
then interlock them together. When you throw the model in the air, the
modules explode into many fluttering butterflys. Perhaps someone else has
information on how many units are required.

Subject: More about Peace Garden

Here are the details about the Peace Garden. This project was begun by
third graders after hearing the story of Sadako and the Thousand Cranes.
They were so touched, they wanted to build a sister statue to the statue in
Hiroshima Peace Park. They had a small amount of money in their kitty
(maybe $15.00), but they were encouraged by some lovely teachers and
parents. One thing led to another and many other issues (like endangered
species) were incorporated. Children designed peace statues and these have
gone on tour around America to help raise money. A winning statue was
chosen for the park and the remembrance of the development of the atom
bomb. Bids were put out and an artist who works with children was selected
for the project. The sculptor will be casting the winning statue in bronze
for about $45,000.00. (The other bids were around $200.000.00). The
sculpture will be the center piece in a peace garden. There is another
whole story about some developments in this area. The month of August of
this year will be a month of dedication and remembrance. The children will
be reading the names of the thousands of children who have given a dollar
for peace. The names will be read in unison and at the present about 42,281
children have participated. Now for the origami connection. Presently a
million cranes have been folded to drape and hang in the Peace Garden. They
are asking that people send only strings of 100 cranes or more. Whew! If
you know of a child that is special to you, maybe you would like to send
cranes or a dollar to participate. They are accepting children's names from
infancy to age 21. Be sure to include where the child is from, as this
information will be read at the ceremonies. You can send cranes or a dollar
to PEACE KIDS PO Box 12888-M, Albuquerque, NM 87195. Make checks payable to
ACF Peace Statue. It's a wonderful project and it has its origins in
Origami. Thanks for your interest and your messages! Beck

Welcome, Phillip!

There are already people on this list (besides me) who are familiar with
your incredible folding abilities.  And for those who are not, well, I
have pictures... (well, only 1 slide which I've been meaning to send you
:-).

And I'll say publicly that I think the time is ripe for a Seattle-area
folding group.  When RC and I requested pacific northwest labels from OUSA
to start our Portland-area group, there were *lots* of northern neighbors
on the list.  Would you be willing to coordinate that, perhaps with help
from others?  (Bug RC for the labels!)

I use standard kitchen foil with (again) standard tissue. The foil leaves a
beautiful transluscent finish on the TFT laminate. Use a spray mount glue
(preferably non-carcinogenic!) to join them. Don't forget that reversing a
crease neatly is out of the question & the laminate has none of the natural

One of the best sources is Peter Engel's book _Origami_From_A_To_Zen_
(previous title: _Folding_the_Universe_). It traces the history of the
art from China to Japan to the present, as well as parallel developments
among the Moors in Spain. Also, if you have access to the World Wide Web,
I've got an article on the history of origami on my Origami Page (see

        I have been working (furiously) on putting the registration forms for
the convention online.  The convention is going to be June 23-25.  The
COET95 is on MOnday June 26.  I am currently working on putting all the
information concerning the convention in my homepage.  I will keep
everybody posted.  Hopefully by Saturday, you will be able to see the result.

Later.

Subject: Origami for the young

Earlier this morning, Lee  Kinkade asked for teaching suggestions for boys
6-12 years old.  At the suggestion of Lillian Oppenheimer a few years ago, I
like to start with the simple "Magazine Cover Box" followed by the classic
action model, "The Jumping Frog."  Followed, of course by a round of jumping
the frog into the box...always a successful ice breaker.  Good Luck!

Best wishes, Don

My first suggestion is to be sure that they are fluent in the
wonderful traditional folds. There are some that I think of as
part of world culture and (in a way) add to their 'cultural literacy'.

   hat from a newspaper that turns into a boat
   fortune teller or cootie catcher or salt cellar (whatever its name is)
   cup from square (fold in half diagonally and then lock edges by overlap
                    of the corners)
   jumping frog from a 3x5 card

   dart airplanes (including 'tweeks' to control lift vs spin)

   magazine cover box (in several shapes of rectangles to notice why
                       some work differently shapes work differently than
                       others)
                       [ This gives them a way to keep track of their
                        projects. They can label it and they generally
                        feel like they will be able to get them home.]

   The Samurai Helmet

   The Helmet fold into a puppy.  (demonstrates concept of tools for
                                  solving more than one problem.)

   After they have mastered the cup and done a few other things, you might
   use the cup as a unit for the Lewis Simon coaster. There are several
   ways to connect 8 of them to form different patterns. In one of the
   patterns, by using only 7 units, it becomes a frisbee. It works.

   After they have been active for a while, they may be interested in
   converting the fortune telling into the 'fancy box' shown in Harbins
   Origami the art of paperfolding.

  Sorry, I got carried away.... Have fun, that is the most important thing.

I hear you mention that you are in touch w/RC Collishaw, I don't have a recent

Marc,
Thanx, that sounds like Microsoft Publisher all right; it has "wizards", and a
lot of Gateway Computers ship with it installed, so that was probably it. I
think the model might have been a flappy bird.
