+
+A real working model. See it walk the maze in front of your very own eyes.
+
+To prove that you can do anything in vi, I wrote a couple of macros that
+allows vi to solve mazes. It will solve any maze produced by maze.c
+that was posted to the alt.sources last month. (Maze.c is also included
+in this posting as well as an example of its output.)
+
+The uncommented version of the macros was sent to alt.sources last month.
+However, so many people mailed me requesting the commented version of the
+macros that I decided to post it. I have made some modifications to the
+original macros to make them easier to follow and also after I learnt
+that you can escape the special meaning of '|' in macros by using '^V|'.
+
+Save this article and unshar it. Then read maze.README.
+
+After studying these macros, anyone who cannot write an emacs emulator
+in vi macros should just curl up and :q!.
+
+Coming soon to a newsgroup near you: "Vi macros solve Tower of Hanoi",
+and a repost of the original "Turing Machine implemented in Vi macros"
+
+Anyone who has a version of these macros for edlin or nroff, please post.
