There is no trace of "folders" anywhere in my only surviving
"Programming in occam 2" manual (by Geraint Jones and Michael Goldsmith
from 1988), so the folding concept must have been definitively a
feature of the original Transputer Development System (TDS) of INMOS.
As it was an /integrated/ development environment to produce transputer
code anyway, the appearance of sentinel comments in the listings
didn’t affect the compiler necessarily. Me too, I do remember vividly
having seen them in the output — I was so impressed, I never
desisted from using folders in vim since then ;-)

My comments here have probably been overtaken by other postings. But
yes, IIRC the folding marks just appeared in the resulting output
occam file as sentinel-like marks.
Origami had the advantage that it was only really used for occam, so
you could be sure about what marks to use. I can't remember if the
sentinels were 'comment-ified', or a sort of language addition.

I can't remember if I've mentioned Origami, the old Transputer

implementation and key binding for code folding.
A little googling took me here
<http://wotug.org/parallel/vendors/inmos/archive-server/origami/origami.txt>.
Thanks for the implied link.
I'm not sure how Origami creates external files and remembers the
folds. Perhaps "..." and "{{{" are the equivalent of sentinel
comments. Or maybe the text file is like a .leo file and there is a
way to create external files from the origami file. Obviously,
clones would add more complexity.
