[OS X TeX] Totally OT: PostScript maze

This is absolutely unrelated to TeX. But given there are expert  
PostScript programmers posting occasionally here (Ross?), I thought  
they might be amused by the following link:

<http://micah.cowan.name/2007/02/13/computers/postscript-is-amazing/>

That's a PostScript file which is actually a program, generating a  
random maze each time it is opened (like in Preview, or TeXShop). How  
the program works is beyond my understanding, but apparently it's  
based on a 70s BASIC program detailed at:

Probably time to go back to the BASIC manual of my old Sharp PC-1211  
(still working, though the LCD display is not in good shape!), and  
brush up my rusty BASIC skills ;-)
