I mentioned this, and I posted some latter WITH all of these things.
I also added some new rendering methods.

Example:
,-------------------------------------------------.    
|                                                 |

|    |                   |         |              |    
|    |     ----.    ,----"----.    `--------------:    
|    |      X  |    |         |                   |    
|    `---------'    |    .    |    ,---------.    |    
|                   |    |    |    |         |    |    
:--------------     |    |    |    `----     |    |

:-------------------'    |    `--------------'    |    
|                        |                        |    
|     -------------------"----.--------------     |    
|                             |                   |    
|    ,----.--------------.    |    ,----.---------:

|    |                   |    |                   |    
`----"-------------------'    `-------------------'    

Much better!!!

Try to get to the X from the door, or out from the X.


Currently the VRML version is get from the door to the end, but I
am about to make it so you start at the inside and try to find
your way out.


Note:  Don't download it for two days, so all my copys are bug-tested
and synced.

The currently downloadable version has no ascii features in it yet.



Answer for simple maze following!!! Don't read if you want to know
how to solve the above maze!  Of course, it only take a couple seconds
to solve it............. :-)
