> I need something that will generate ascii text mazes

        Well, i just finished my new MaZeR routinesand with them it is just
as easy possible (told you they were flexible!)
        Just include MaZeR.E and call:
                                 mazer ( {width , height } , options)
        The routine will then return a 2-d sequence of the height and width
you have specified + 1.
        In the sequence a zero(atom) means no line.  To convert it to
spaces, just do this:
                                my_sequence = maze ({width,height},opt_s) + 32
But then the line_color you have specified will also be 32 more.       
        For
ascii-text mazes, just set the line_color to the character you want
the line to be!! If you set the space to 2 and the line color to 'x'
you'll get something like this:

        XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
        X   X                              X                     X
        X   X   XXXXXXXXXX       XXXXXX
        X         X         X            X             X
         X   X               XXXXXX     X   X    XX
        XXXXXX     X                     X   X      X
         X            X      X   XX           X    XXXX
         X    X           X                           X
         XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This above might look awfull with a fixed-width font, it looks pretty
good with mine.

        Features:

        * Space between line can be anything from 2 (= excually 1 space)
        * Any positive value can be used as linecolor/char
        * The function now returns the maze in about 76% faster!!
        * Multiple mazer commands can be given, so you can maze different
layers with different options (and different line
                        colors, spaces,
etc.)
        * See mazer.txt for more information...

        You can use them freely, but i would like to get the code of the
program you are writting it for!! (Don't need money, too difficult
to transfer and stuff, like it would be much!) However it's your
choice to give me the code. You can use these routines anyway, that's
why i posted them on this mail-serv, instead by private mail.
