+The macros in the maze, hanoi and urm directories can be used to test Vim for
+vi compatibility. They have been written for vi to show its unlimited
+possibilities. The life macros can be used for performance comparisons.
+
+hanoi Macros that solve the tower of hanoi problem.
+life Macros that run Conway's game of life.
+maze Macros that solve a maze (amazing!).
+urm Macros that simulate a simple computer: "Universal Register Machine"

+how to use Vi and Vim functionality.
